The contributors confront topics such as eugenics and crime control, the pathologizing of difference as deviance, processes of criminalization, and the role of disability justice activism in contesting longstanding discrimination. Weaving together disability and sociolegal studies, criminology, and law, \u003ci\u003eDisability Injustice\u003c\/i\u003e examines disability in contexts that include policing and surveillance, sentencing and the courts, prisons and other carceral spaces, and alternatives to confinement. This collection highlights how, with a deeper understanding of disability, we can and should challenge the practices of crime control and the processes of criminalization. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kelly Fritsch\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0774867132\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780774867139\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of British Columbia Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/29\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 352\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.98w x 0.79d","brand":"Kelly Fritsch","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48438005006591,"sku":"9780774867139","price":37.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2a8fef07-4c8f-4c19-979b-c264f49f4e23.jpg?v=1777168153","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/disability-injustice-kelly-fritsch-9780774867139","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
