The Political Turn in Criminal Law Scholarship

by Christoph Burchard (Editor), Vincent Chiao (Editor), Rocío Lorca (Editor)

In this book, scholars from a wide range of legal traditions – Latin America, North America and Europe – explore the recent “political turn” in criminal law theory. The book takes stock of the political turn from an international and interdisciplinary perspective. The contributors draw upon philosophy, political criminology, critical sociology and law to assess both the promise, and limitations, of a political conception of crime and punishment.
