Abstract:
Anarchists were among the earliest modern thinkers to offer a systemic critique of criminal justice and among the first to directly criticize academic criminology while formulating what would today be called "critical criminology." They identified the sources of social problems like "crime" in social structures and relations of inequality and, moreover, understood that the same institutions mainstream criminologists offered as would-be solutions actually caused or further enabled the social ills they supposedly addressed. This volume collects critical writings on criminology from anarchist thinkers including William Godwin, Pierre-Joseph Proudhon, Mikhail Bakunin, Peter Kropotkin, Lucy Parsons, Emma Goldman, and many others. --From publisher description.
