Summary:
"Ableism is embedded in Canadian criminal justice institutions, policies, and practices, making incarceration and institutionalization dangerous -- even deadly -- for disabled people.
Disability
Injustice
brings together highly original work by a range of scholars and activists to explore
disability
in the historical and contemporary Canadian criminal justice system. The contributors confront challenging topics such as eugenics and crime control; the pathologizing of difference as deviance within criminal law systems; processes of
criminalization
based on discretionary, biased approaches to physical and mental health; and the role of
disability
justice activism in contesting longstanding discrimination and exclusion. Weaving together
disability
and sociolegal studies, criminology, and law, they examine
disability
in relation to various agencies and aspects of the criminal justice system. Policing and surveillance, sentencing and the courts, prisons and other carceral spaces, and alternatives to confinement are among the areas of focus. Drawing on empirical data and new theoretical insights,
Disability
Injustice
investigates how
disability
intersects with race, class, gender, and sexuality to perpetuate oppression, paying particular attention to ways forward. This provocative collection highlights how, with deeper understanding of
disability
, we can and should challenge the practices of crime control and the processes of
criminalization
