Description
Revitalizing Criminological Theory Towards a New Ultra-realism by Steve Hall and Simon Winlow provides a comprehensive introduction to Ultra-Realism, a radical school of thought that challenges existing criminological theories. The authors outline the intellectual flaws of current approaches and introduce new concepts to enhance our understanding of human motivations and the nature of reality. By combining philosophical and psychosocial perspectives with an advanced conception of "harm", Hall and Winlow offer original explanations of criminal motivations and propose a paradigm shift that could illuminate the complexities of contemporary global crime. This book is essential reading for academics and students studying criminology, sociology, social theory, philosophy of social sciences, and the history of crime.
