The Emerald Handbook of Crime, Justice and Sustainable Development brings together a diverse and international collection of essays to critically examine issues relating to crime and justice in the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
The United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development provides an important global framework for advancing human rights, social justice and environmental sustainability. A number of the Agenda's Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) address issues relating to crime, justice and security, and implicit in the 2030 Agenda is the assumption that members of the international community 'including traditional development actors and the myriad international, non-governmental, private, state and local organizations and actors that collectively contribute to the global governance of crime' must work together to enhance the capacities of both developing and developed countries to achieve this vision.
Against this backdrop, this volume analyses and interrogates the SDGs from different theoretical and ideological standpoints originating from within and beyond criminology, illustrating the complex and politically contentious nature of these issues and providing insight into the different possibilities that exist for realising the SDGs and mitigating the risk that initiatives meant to realise the SDGs, may in fact contribute to harmful and counterproductive policies and practices.
This book will be essential reading for scholars and students within criminology, criminal justice, socio-legal studies, international relations and development studies.
Recenzijas
'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.' -- Professor Kerry Carrington, Queensland University of Technology, Australia '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.' -- Dr Mark Shaw, Director of the Global Initiative Against Transnational Organized Crime
