ISBN: 9780813540382.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn eye for an eye, the balance of scales--for centuries, these and other traditional concepts exemplified the publics perception of justice. Today, popular culture, including television shows like Law and Order, informs the publics vision. But do age-old symbols, portrayals in the media, and existing systems truly represent justice in all of its nuanced forms, or do we need to think beyond these notions?\nIn Social Justice: Theories, Issues, and Movements, Loretta Capeheart and Dragan Milovanovic respond to the need for a comprehensive introduction to this topic. The authors argue that common conceptions of criminal justice--which accept, for the most part, a politically established definition of crime--are too limited. Instead, they show the relevancy of history, political economy, culture, critique, and cross-cultural engagement to the advancement of justice.\nDrawing on contemporary issues ranging from globalization to the environment, this essential textbook--ideal for course use--encourages practitioners, reformists, activists, and scholars to question the limits of the law in its present state in order to develop a fairer system at the local, national, and global levels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Rutgers University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44953326059573,"sku":"ByrdShop_0813540380","price":28.85,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780813540382_abc19a6e-deda-4bd0-a1fa-bd16d5979bf5.jpg?v=1781417770","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/social-justice-theories-issues-and-movements-critical-issues-in-crime-and-society-9780813540382","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
