Alternative Criminologies is a remarkable edited collection comprised of world leaders in their respective fields. Each of these contributions offer a unique, critically informed contribution to the discipline. That feature alone would justify the title of the book. However, the editors are not content to leave it there. They demand that the reader consider what is meant by 'alternative' and what that means for ways of knowing with the discipline of criminology. As a result, this collection demands that the discipline takes note of the questions it poses and asks that the discipline reflects upon its role and position with the world of crime and justice. This collection is not only a 'must read' it offers a much-needed rejuvenation of what the discipline takes to understand as criminology. - Sandra Walklate, Eleanor Rathbone Chair of Sociology, University of Liverpool, Professor of Criminology, Monash University, Australia, and Adjunct Professor School of Justice, Queensland University of Technology, Australia Pat Carlen's work never disappoints. Now, she and her co-editor Leandro Ayres Franca have brought together some of the most outstanding scholars in their particular areas of the discipline that, collectively, demonstrates the remarkable critical diversity in so much criminological scholarship in the early 21st century. - John Pratt, Professor of Criminology at the Institute of Criminology, Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand
