The Routledge International Handbook of Criminology and Human Rights by Leanne Weber

The Routledge International Handbook of Criminology and Human Rights by Leanne Weber

This book brings together work across a wide range of criminological perspectives united by its critical application of human rights law and principles and provides a foundation on which future research on human rights and criminology can be built.

"The Handbook covers an extensive list of themes that view the significance of human rights for social justice, policing, punishment, justice systems, law and governance and the development of criminology itselfThis ambitious Handbook is the first major attempt to bring human rights out of the fringe and to the fore of criminological debate. It is breathtaking in its scope. The 53 chapters are authored by an inter-disciplinary group of distinguished, cutting-edge and early career scholars – an impressive feat in itself. This is a superb example of trans-nationalising the discipline by bringing together scholars from the global north and south. The Handbook is an essential source of original and diverse scholarship that brings criminology and human rights perspectives together. It will appeal to a broad range of scholars across a number of disciplines well beyond criminology. It is also vital reading for policy makers, legislators and human rights activists and organisations across the world. I thoroughly commend it."

Kerry Carrington, Head of School of Justice, Faculty of Law, Queensland University of Technology, Australia

"For years many of us have bemoaned the lack of synergy between human rights and criminological scholarship. Happily, criminologists and human rights scholars are increasingly talking to each other and this diverse and rich collection marks an important milestone in that development. The editors and contributors are to be warmly congratulated."

Kieran McEvoy, Professor of Law and Transitional Justice, Queens University Belfast, Northern Ireland
