Summary

"This book explores ways of defining and enacting social justice in the context of social welfare and crime control policies. It examines how the notion of social justice informs experiences and understandings of the social world, why it appeals to so many people as a mobilising ideal for social change and reform, and how it shapes claims, demands and actions people take in the pursuit of the 'good society'." "Designed as an interactive teaching text, the book includes a range of student-friendly features, such as case studies, activities and questions for discussion, making it ideal for both classroom-based and distance learners."--BOOK JACKET.
