This edited collection showcases some of the most exciting and innovative contributions since its first conference in 1973, illustrating the theoretical depth and contrasting interpretive frames deployed in the critical analysis of deviancy and social control. The book will be of interest to academics, activists, practitioners, post-graduate and final year undergraduate students in the fields of criminology, penology, social policy, law, socio-legal studies, sociology and other related disciplines.\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEndorsements\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"\u003ci\u003eCritique and Dissent\u003c\/i\u003e is to anti-criminology what\u003ci\u003e Protest and Survive\u003c\/i\u003e was to the anti-nuclear movement... as an anthology, it is a fitting testament to forty years of a genuinely pan-European, critical organisation which remains a challenge to the theoretical, empirical and methodological boundaries of critical social science.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e-\u003cb\u003eSteve Tombs,\u003c\/b\u003e Professor of Criminology, The Open University\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"This book documents some of the key theoretical and activist contributions of the European Group... over its first four decades...
