Constitutive criminology at work

"Constitutive Criminology at Work reveals the value of applying postmodernist-informed constitutive criminology to issues of crime and justice. A holistic, integrated criminological theory, constitutive criminology takes serious account of the interrelated contribution of human agency and social forces and argues that crime is an integral part of the total material and cultural production of society.

Consequently, analysis and control of crime cannot be separated from the wider structural and cultural contexts in which it is produced."--BOOK JACKET. "This book argues that constitutive criminology can ultimately help society out of its obsession with the crime and punishment cycle."--BOOK JACKET.
