Texte du rabat

This book analyses leading works in criminal law to explore how the modern discipline of criminal law has developed, how it has been deployed in colonial and post-colonial contexts, and how criminal law scholarship has engaged with traditionally marginalised perspectives such as feminism, queer theory, and anti-carceral and abolitionist movements.
