Synopsis

This collection represents a provocative series of essays that systematically reviews or extends the role of critical social theory in fostering justice and change in several relevant, though problematic, social contexts. The articles grapple with the ongoing "double crisis" that confronts theory and practice in the construction of knowledge. Each chapter deftly exposes where and how conventional sociological and criminological thought has failed to effectively address such human social issues as homelessness, mental illness, minority rights, juvenile justice, global violence, and criminal punishment. The book provides new and much needed direction regarding theory development in the social sciences.
