"This is a very welcome addition to the academic literature that engages in dialogue across the fields of criminology and human rights. Its many rich and diverse perspectives on a range of subjects are covered deftly by an exceptional collection of authors. The book will undoubtedly stimulate further debate and scholarship on these important topics, exactly as the editors intended."
