Synopsis "Oxford Handbook of Contemporary Critical and Cultural Criminological Theory"

The Oxford Handbook of Critical and Cultural Criminological Theory makes sense of an array of newer approaches within criminology that center culture or critical social theory, and quite often both. Chapters cover an array of named approaches, such as cultural criminology, narrative criminology, convict criminology, feminist criminology, Bourdi

The Oxford Handbook of Contemporary Critical and Cultural Criminological Theory is a crucial scholarly resource for contemporary theorizing about crime, harm, and justice. Departing from earlier etiological or structural approaches, this volume highlights the rich and evolving field of theorizing in criminology by bringing together critical and cultural criminologies as conjoined subfields.

This Handbook draws together a wide body of empirical work examining institutional processes and cultural practices in relation to crime and the criminal justice system. With this lens of inquiry, traditional binaries—including that between "meaning" and "material arrangement"—are no longer sustainable. Across thirty-one chapters, the volume provides in-depth and accessible reviews of the main critical/cultural approaches to research in criminology and foregrounds key international debates. It promotes the recognition that political orders are founded on narratives of crime, systems of surveillance, and punishment, and that meaning is tied to their regulation. Critical criminology and cultural theories share a mutual debt because society, power, and culture do.

The Handbook offers insights into the history and status of the contemporary theoretical field, areas for possible theoretical advancement, the relationship between theory and politics/(in)justice, and indications of how different theories can inform empirical research. This volume will help students, scholars, activists, and practitioners better understand the inescapable importance of theoretical frameworks for understanding criminal justice institutions, crime, and associated social harms.
