Social Justice
Loretta Capeheart, Dragon Milovanovic · 2007
על הספר
An eye for an eye, the balance of scales?for centuries, these and other traditional concepts exemplified the public?s perception of justice. Today, popular culture, including television shows like Law and Order, informs the public?s vision. But do age-old symbols, portrayals in the media, and existing systems truly represent justice in all of its nuanced forms, or do we need to think beyond these notions?. In Social Justice: Theories, Issues, and Movements, Loretta Capeheart and Dragan Milovanovic respond to the need for a comprehensive introduction to this topic. The authors argue that common conceptions of criminal justice--which accept, for the most part, a politically established definition of crime--are too limited. Instead, they show the relevancy of history, political economy, culture, critique, and cross-cultural engagement to the advancement of justice.
