Surely few contemporary criminologists have influenced so many others in such profound ways as Richard Quinney. He took a professional and personal path wholly unlike that of any other criminologist, and produced a rich, highly original and often lyricalbody of work. This superb book of essays introduces a new generation of criminology students to the unique and provocative thought of Richard Quinney and demonstrates how he helped shape peacemaking criminology. In an era when over two million Americans are incarcerated, and new repressive and retributive dimensions of criminal justice continue to be introduced, inspiring alternative ways of thinking about crime and justice are needed more than ever. It is difficult to imagine anyone reading this book and not being personally transformed by the experience..
