I'd pick Juarez Cirino's book "Radical Criminology". It reeks of ultraidealist marxism but I think the observations it makes on the workings of the criminal system in capitalist societies is simply enlightening. He draws from ideas of Foucault, Marx, Pasukanis and many others to form a concise and understandable take on modern criminal and penal systems.
- harrumph 10y agoDid you read this in English, or Portugese? I'm interested and I can't find an English translation.
- erik14th 10y agoEven in portuguese the book is unfortunately pretty hard to find. I actually am thinking about translating it myself, I already asked the publisher if I can make it easily available online(I'm thinking something like a github repo so people can help translate and fix errors), not sure if they'll answer me tho. Send me a mail at erik@14th.info and I'll let you know if I get something done.
