Description
Demonising the Other: The Criminalisation of Morality by Philip Whitehead The concept of "othering" has been a persistent feature throughout history, with individuals from different cultures, races, genders, and classes often being singled out for negative attributes. This phenomenon affects us all, yet Philip Whitehead challenges the notion that it is an inevitable aspect of human society. In this thought-provoking book, Whitehead examines the historical criminalisation of those deemed "other" and explores how modern penal policies, such as the "Big Society", may not be the most effective way to address the underlying issues. By looking beyond the dominant narratives, Whitehead offers insights into a more inclusive approach that benefits society as a whole. This book provides a valuable analysis of the complex relationships between power, morality, and social justice, making it an important contribution to our understanding of the human condition.
