In this welcome second edition, the book reviews and evaluates
the current state of criminological theory from this
"grammatical" perspective. It maintains and develops its critical
and subversive stance but greatly widens its theoretical range,
including dedicated chapters on gender, race, class and the
post-als including postcolonialism. It now also provides
questions, exercises and further readings alongside its detailed
analysis of a set of international examples, both classical and
contemporary.
