Recenzii

‘Steve Hall and Simon Winlow are quite simply the most important Criminologists working in Britain today. The breadth of their vision, their scholarship and the certainty of their conclusions makes them both impossible to ignore and vital to understand. Revitalizing Criminological Theory is the latest in a growing list of extraordinary, insightful, passionate and beautifully crafted works that they have produced and I urge anyone who cares about Criminology to read it.’ - Professor David Wilson, Founding Director Centre for Applied Criminology, Birmingham City University, UK
‘If you buy one criminology book this year make it Revitalizing Criminological Theory by Steve Hall and Simon Winlow. Criminological theory is at the crossroads, where bluesman Robert Johnson was supposed to have sold his soul to the devil. As the authors show in this book all previous criminology theory has sold its soul, including both neo-liberal and left liberal/postmodern criminology. If we are to move beyond this present dichotomy which has pervaded global criminology for decades, we need to follow the signpost out of this mess – it reads "ultra-realist criminology this way" and this text is its handbook.’ - Professor Steve Redhead, Faculty of Arts, Charles Sturt University, Australia
'A vital and timely contribution on why a new criminology is needed. This slim and important volume casts new theoretical light on underlying causes of neoliberal-based harms of the powerful and abject. A much needed breath of fresh thinking.' - J. Robert Lilly, Regents Professor of Sociology, Northern Kentucky University, USA
