This collection introduces readers to three decades of Ronnie Lippens’ research and writing and his multifaceted contribution to the social sciences and humanities. It focusses on five of his key themes, the respective relationships between critical criminological practice and hypermodernity, rhetorical discourse, poststructural theory, Luciferianism, and the ethics of care. The chapters are written by former colleagues of Lippens who are respected academics with international reputations of their own, from England, Italy, and Brazil across the disciplines of criminology, sociology, philosophy, and legal studies. Each contributor offers their own perspective on one theme in an essay original to this collection. The book encourages readers to engage with and learn from Lippens’ effortless synthesis of social science and philosophy in their own studies of crime, harm, deviance, and justice.
