In the United States of Ameria, longstanding calls for radical alternatives to the criminal legal system gained significant momentum with the killing of George Floyd, connecting with Black Lives Matter activism and calls to defund the police. In the United Kingdom, alongside a long tradition of penal reform, an abolitionist pulse has underpinned the work of critical criminologists and many community activists. As a theoretical position, this approach has attracted increasing attention within the mainstream of criminology and criminal justice studies, and there has been a growth in scholarly and academic engagement with the ideas of abolitionist theory and practice, for example, in the work of Coyle and Scott (eds) (2021) Scott (2018 and 2020) and UK based activist collectives such as Cradle Community (2021)
