Generative Justice: Beyond Crime and Punishment

This edited collection explores the concept of Generative Justice and how it might help us reimagine conventional responses to crime and state punishment. With case studies from the Global North and South, it offers insights into how, within different cultural contexts, justice-involved people find solidarity, belonging and purpose.

The book showcases exciting and innovative projects and communities in which unlikely solidarities have been forged among diverse people, through creative practices, education, food, horticulture, and through shared experiences of reentry, recovery and desistance. By exploring the common features and qualities of these generative places, the book sets out an agenda for future research and activism.
