Social Democratic Criminology is an important critical perspective for analyzing crime and criminal justice, and creating humane and effective policies. However, the neoliberal revolution of the rich has pushed aside social democratic values and policies, resulting in a tsunami of crime.

Social Democratic Criminology is a vital critical perspective that is essential for analyzing crime and criminal justice and for developing humane and effective policies. The aftermath of World War II saw a 30-year effort to establish a more peaceful international order, with Western countries adopting agendas influenced by social democratic principles. However, since the late 1960s, the dominance of neoliberalism has fragmented the social democratic consensus. This book argues that the neoliberal revolution of the rich has pushed aside social democratic values and policies regarding crime and security, replacing them with tougher 'law and order approaches. The initial consequence was a surge in crime in all its forms. While smarter security techniques did manage to curb this for a period, the decade of austerity following the 2008 financial crisis has witnessed a rise in violent and serious crime.
Social Democratic Criminology traces the history of social democracy, explores its diverse interpretations, and identifies its core unifying concepts and influence on criminology in the 20th century. It analyzes the decline of social democratic criminology and the sustained intellectual and political attacks it has faced. The concluding chapter examines the prospects for reviving social democratic criminology, which is closely linked to the prospects for a rebirth of the broader social democratic movement.
Written in a clear and direct style, this book is an invaluable resource for scholars, policymakers, and activists seeking to understand the complexities of crime and criminal justice and to promote social justice and equality.
