About this book
Reviews
“It sometimes appears that labelling theory, the sociology of deviance and critical criminology have only nostalgic value today, but this lively and accessible collection demonstrates, by way of a focus on Colin Sumner’s theory of 'censure', how hugely relevant this radical tradition remains today.” (Professor Robert Fine, Emeritus Professor of Sociology, University of Warwick, UK)
