This new edition effectively updates an all-too-rare book in the criminal justice library. The additions link the book to many contemporary debates that have evolved since it was first published. - Raymond J. Michalowski (Northern Arizona University) This book is a major contribution to the field and sensitizes us to the importance of moving beyond mainstream, narrow conceptions of justice. - Walter S. DeKeseredy (Professor of Criminology, Justice and Policy Studies, University of Ontario) This book is as provocative as it is path-breaking on a topic that richly deserves to be center stage in the drama of everyday life. Capeheart and Milovanovic set the new standard for understanding the theories, issues and struggles that represent the call for social justice at home and abroad, in our institutions and communities, and throughout our very existences. - Bruce A. Arrigo (coauthor of Theory, Justice, and Social Change)
