'One of the significant enduring achievements of the post-World War II era has been the development of an international framework of human rights, charters, declarations and sustainable development goals with specified targets and timelines co-ordinated by the United Nations. This compendium of original and provocative essays illustrates that criminological knowledge has much to both offer and critique this ambitious agenda. Sustainable development cannot be achieved, as the contributions in this Handbook demonstrate, without also addressing the crime-development nexus, environmental justice, social justice, and the vast global inequalities in the distribution of wealth and fortune clustered in English speaking world, against the insecurity of life concentrated in the 'developing' world of the global south. There is no simple solution to these complex dynamics, however the diversity of this collection provides much to ponder. The book should appeal to a wide audience of practitioners, policy-makers, and scholars from an array of disciplines with an interest in a global approach to sustainable development. The editors are to be congratulated on compiling such a diverse array of contributions, on a wide range of topics, related to the 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda.'
