Ronnie Lippens (1998), 'Alternatives to What Kind of Suffering? Towards a Border-crossing Criminology'

There has been much talk during the past few decades about the so-called crisis in critical criminology. Remember, for example, the 1980 publication, edited by James Inciardi, that treated the 'coming crises' of radical criminology. Though this volume was not so much a discussion among 'critical criminologists' (it criticized radical criminology largely from more or less conservative angles), its date of publication is significant: the book was published at the onset of what we will call the 'hypermodern' move of the contemporary era.
