Limited Responsibilities - Social Movements and Criminal Justice (Hardcover)

"Responsibility" and the way in which it is defined, assumed and attributed in society is currently at the center of public debate both nationally and internationally. As the focus of political discussion, it also poses philosophical and juridical questons and is the underlying motive of many montemporary conflicts.
"Limited Responsibilities" analyzes the notions of responsibility in relation to social and political institutions and also individuals. Focusing particularly on the criminal justice system, it demonstrates how the breaking down of boundaries between institutions results in increased empowerment of the individual.
