This book presents a critical history of Western criminological thought from the Enlightenment to the present day, with a focus on the US.
Mehozay contends that Western criminological thought is based upon ‘otherness’, sustaining the control of some people over others. He demonstrates how ideologies of otherness validate projects of control and exclusion, modernization and care, and even eugenics.
