More DescriptionBringing together leading scholars in the fields of criminology, international law, philosophy and architectural history and theory, this book examines the interrelationships between architecture and justice, highlighting the provocative and curiously ambiguous juncture between the two. With its multi-disciplinary perspective, it develops from the particular to the universal, from local situations to the larger city, and examines the role that architecture and urban space play in the deliberations of justice. Contributors also remind us of the potential impact the built environment can have in undermining the proper juridical processes of a socio-political system. The book provides both wise counsel and warnings of the role of public/civic space in affirming our sense of a just or unjust society.
