A Criminological Imagination<br />
Essays on Justice, Punishment, Discourse<br />
Pat Carlen, Kent University, UK<br />
Pioneers in Contemporary Criminology<br />
This collection of Carlen’s key essays on a wide range of<br />
subjects is informed by a common assumption: that while<br />
criminal justice must remain imaginary in societies based<br />
upon unequal and exploitative social relations, one task of<br />
a criminological imagination might be to suggest why this<br />
is so, and how things could be otherwise.<br />
