Omschrijving
This volume brings together a diverse collection of essays that critically examine issues relating to crime and justice in the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Chapters examine the issues that practitioners face in working to advance this agenda and the possibilities that exist to advance sustainable development outcomes.
'One of the significant enduring achievements of the post-World War II era has been the development of an international framework of human rights, charters, declarations and sustainable development goals with specified targets and timelines co-ordinated by the United Nations. This compendium of original and provocative essays illustrates that criminological knowledge has much to both offer and critique this ambitious agenda. Sustainable development cannot be achieved, as the contributions in this Handbook demonstrate, without also addressing the crime-development nexus, environmental justice, social justice, and the vast global inequalities in the distribution of wealth and fortune clustered in English speaking world, against the insecurity of life concentrated in the 'developing' world of the global south. There is no simple solution to these complex dynamics, however the diversity of this collection provides much to ponder. The book should appeal to a wide audience of practitioners, policy-makers, and scholars from an array of disciplines with an interest in a global approach to sustainable development. The editors are to be congratulated on compiling such a diverse array of contributions, on a wide range of topics, related to the 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda.'
'The handbook tackles a complex and evolving debate by taking a deeper look at almost all key aspects of the discussion while also providing an umbrella view. In doing so it asks the question 'What is the relationship between crime and sustainable development?' in a more comprehensive way than has been done before. It will prove to be a foundational text for the debate for years to come.'
Jarrett Blaustein is Senior Lecturer in Criminology at Monash University, Australia.
Kate Fitz-Gibbon is Associate Professor in Criminology at Monash University, Australia, and Director of the Monash Gender and Family Violence Prevention Centre.
Nathan W. Pino is Professor of Sociology and Honorary Professor of International Studies at Texas State University, USA.
Rob White is Distinguished Professor of Criminology at the University of Tasmania, Australia.
