They explore the spiritual and intellectual sources of Fromm's thought--including Jewish theology, Freudian psychoanalysis, Marxism, and Buddhism--and demonstrate how his socialist humanism points toward a society free of crime and violence. This volume also includes translations of two of Fromm's early articles on criminal justice, never before available in English, in which he develops a psychoanalytic Marxist critique of the role of criminal justice in a class society. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e At a time when American society seems bent, to an unprecedented degree, on imprisonment, executions, and other violent responses to the problem of crime, Fromm's humanist critique offers a unique vantage point from which to renew and develop a critical criminology. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kevin Anderson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0252068300\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780252068300\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Illinois Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/16\/1999\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.64lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.93h x 5.97w x 0.54d","brand":"Kevin Anderson","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48448785154303,"sku":"9780252068300","price":29.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1ebd1d65-4159-4ff7-bdd3-f8cd725729f6.jpg?v=1777260533","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/erich-fromm-critical-criminology-kevin-anderson-9780252068300","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
