The author puts forward the concepts of over-criminalization and under-criminalization to show that the criminal justice system has always been selective. Criminal injustice, the book argues, has been an inherent element of the founding and reproduction of a capitalist society. At a time when racial profiling, prosecutorial discretion, and mass incarceration continue to defy easy answers, Vegh Weis invites us to revisit Marx and Engels? contributions to identify socio-economic and historic patterns of crime and punishment in order to foster transformative changes to criminal justice. The book includes a Foreword by Professor Roger Matthews of Kent University, and an Afterword written by Professor Jonathan Simon of the University of California, Berkeley. 410 0$aStudies in critical social sciences ;$vVolume 104. 606 $aCriminology$xEconomic aspects 606 $aCrime$xSociological aspects 606 $aMarxian economics 606 $aCriminal justice, Administration of 606 $aDiscrimination in criminal justice administration 615 0$aCriminology$xEconomic aspects. 615 0$aCrime$xSociological aspects. 615 0$aMarxian economics. 615 0$aCriminal justice, Administration of. 615 0$aDiscrimination in criminal justice administration. 676 $a364.01 700 $aVegh Weis$b Valeria$01496062 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910792520003321 996 $aMarxism and criminology$93720527 997 $aUNINA
