Riassunto

<b>An exploration of disability in the historical and contemporary Canadian criminal justice system.</b><br><br> Ableism is embedded in Canadian criminal justice institutions, policies, and practices, making incarceration and institutionalization dangerous&#8212;even deadly&#8212;for disabled people. <i>Disability Injustice</i> brings together original work from a range of scholars and activists who explore disability in the historical and contemporary Canadian criminal justice system. The contributors confront topics such as eugenics and crime control, the pathologizing of difference as deviance, processes of criminalization, and the role of disability justice activism in contesting longstanding discrimination. Weaving together disability and sociolegal studies, criminology, and law, <i>Disability Injustice</i> examines disability in contexts that include policing and surveillance, sentencing and the courts, prisons and other carceral spaces, and alternatives to confinement. This collection highlights how, with a deeper understanding of disability, we can and should challenge the practices of crime control and the processes of criminalization.<br> &#160;
