Mark Cowling 
Marxism and Criminological Theory [PDF ebook] 
A Critique and a Toolkit

This volume looks at Marxist thought in criminology, the work of Willem Bonger, Georg Rusche and Otto Kircheimer, and assesses the role of Marxist analysis in areas such as Critical Criminology and Left Realism. Arguing that Marxism is relevant in the post-Soviet era, it offers a ‘toolkit’ of Marxist theories and how to use them.
