The field of criminal justice lacks an autonomous radical tradition, although radical criminology has had some influence. Recently, a perspective known as critical legal studies has emerged. The principal dimensions of this perspective are explicated, and some attention is directed towards the controversy over the role of adherents of this perspective in the law school. The argument advanced here is that these developments in the realm of critical legal studies have some relevance for the evolution of a radical perspective within criminal justice.
