'At a time when organising resistance and protest is crucially
necessary, the collected authors marshal a virtuous trinity of
activism, critically engaged scholarship and theory. Activists may
not need academics, and nor should they be in the vanguard, but
this text highlights welcome intellectual and practical
solidarity'
*Mick McKeown, Professor of Democratic Mental Health at the
University of Central Lancashire*
'In this excellent book, the editors bring together an impressive
range of chapters covering resistance to punitivism in social
welfare and criminal justice. The book's radical agendas are
crystal clear and critical at a time of brutal state action. It
deserves a wide readership'
*Chris Grover, co-editor of 'Disabled People, Work and Welfare: Is
Employment Really the Answer?'*
