Since the publication of Michele Alexander's The New Jim Crow books on the criminal justice system have proliferated. In distinction from most of those often excellent investigative reports and analyses of the contemporary moment, this title attempts to sketch a history of crime and punishment's role in the development of capitalist society on explicitly Marxist terms. Title will benefit from the growing academic audience for the book series of which it is a part Peer reviewed nature of the book series provides an inbuilt credibility to other academics working within the field.

This second edition of The Palgrave Handbook of Criminology and the Global South significantly expands, develops and draws together the rapidly growing research and theory about crime, punishment, security, prisons, policing, gender violence, environmental justice, island justice and justice innovations from, in the spatial and marginal global peripheries. It challenges the hegemonic bias in the production and dissemination of criminological knowledge and covers a huge scope of original research to develop a field of criminological inquiry inclusive of the experiences of the Global South. It includes Indigenous, critical, green, southern, feminist, counter-colonial, post-colonial and de-colonial approaches. The handbook promotes diverse perspectives to develop concepts and theories that bridge global divides aiming to democratise criminological knowledges. It contains 86 chapters organised into eight themes and features contributions from both emerging and established scholars from around the globe. While colonialism's impacts are most visible in former colonies of the Global South, marginalised communities also exist in the Global North. The handbook, therefore, transcends geographical boundaries by incorporating theories from the margins.

Winner of the 2017 Choice Outstanding Academic Title AwardIn Marxism and Criminology: A History of Criminal Selectivity, Valeria Vegh Weis rehabilitates the contributions and the methodology of Marx and Engels to analyze crime and punishment through the historical development of capitalism (15th Century to the present) in Europe and in the United States. The author puts forward the concepts of over-criminalization and under-criminalization to show that the criminal justice system has always been selective. Criminal injustice, the book argues, has been an inherent element of the founding and reproduction of a capitalist society. At a time when racial profiling, prosecutorial discretion, and mass incarceration continue to defy easy answers, Vegh Weis invites us to revisit Marx and Engels’ contributions to identify socio-economic and historic patterns of crime and punishment in order to foster transformative changes to criminal justice. The book includes a Foreword by Professor Roger Matthews of Kent University, and an Afterword written by Professor Jonathan Simon of the University of California, Berkeley.

El abuso del derecho penal se expande por América Latina: cada vez más dirigentes políticos del campo popular terminan presos o perseguidos. El lawfare o guerra judicial ocupa un lugar central en las campañas electorales y en las noticias. ¡A esta altura hasta la abuela dibuja de memoria la puerta de Comodoro Py!Sin embargo, los medios sólo transmiten retazos de información respecto de este fenómeno jurídico-político. Su contenido, significado y alcance permanecen ocultos. El resultado es que los distintos usos –y abusos– del derecho penal terminan siendo incomprensibles para el público en general… e incluso para abogados o estudiantes de derecho.Este libro busca echar luz sobre estas sombras. En un estilo accesible, que se permite incluso jugar con un tema espinoso, deconstruye el lenguaje judicial y las principales problemáticas del fenómeno de la guerra judicial en relación con la teoría del delito, el derecho procesal penal y la criminología. Raúl Zaffaroni, ex juez de la Corte Suprema, Cristina Caamaño, ex fiscal a cargo de la Agencia Federal de Inteligencia, y Valeria Vegh Weis, especialista en criminología, explican paso a paso los mecanismos profundos del lawfare, identifican sus trampas y recovecos e iluminan el modo en que termina demoliendo el derecho para ponerlo al servicio del neoliberalismo.
