Conclusion

Abstract

This concluding chapter reflects on how the theoretical and methodological threads running through book tie together to develop an imaginative criminology of space. It build on the authors’ previous work towards a radical democratic imaginary and, drawing on Hudson (2006), incorporates a discussion of transformative justice. The conclusion argues that an imaginative approach is necessary in order to comprehend the complexity of issues of transgression and space, and to ensure the continued reinvigoration of criminology as a discipline.
