Condition: Very Good. : En 'Tolerancia Cero: Estrategias y prácticas de la sociedad de control', Alessandro De Giorgi analiza la evolución del control social en la era post-fordista. Con un prefacio de Toni Negri, el libro examina cómo la inseguridad ciudadana y la estigmatización de ciertos grupos han transformado la criminología neoliberal, enfocándose en el control preventivo y la exclusión en lugar de la reintegración social. A través del caso de la inmigración extracomunitaria, De Giorgi ilustra la creciente influencia de las filosofías de 'tolerancia cero' en Europa, destacando la gestión de riesgos sobre colectivos y la redistribución del riesgo de criminalidad.
