Crime doesn’t happen in a vacuum, but in the complex world we all live in. In Troubling Criminology, professors Michael C. K. Ma and Mike Larsen untangle the discipline of criminology in a series of insightful conversations. Rather than presenting a fixed canon of knowledge, this book encourages readers to draw on their own experiences and perspectives, fostering dialogue and collaborative thinking. It examines how crime, justice, and deviance are socially constructed, shaped by historical and cultural contexts, and influenced by power, inequality, and systemic oppression. Perfect for students and educators alike, this book is not just a textbook—it’s an invitation to join an ongoing conversation about what criminology means today to help us envision a more just future.
