Radical criminology is known mostly for its theoretical focus. Though less attended to, there is a practical side to the perspective. With this in mind, the present study is a preliminary effort to delineate radical criminology's applied program as revealed through responses to a survey of prominent radical criminologists. Findings suggest that the future prospects for radical criminal justice policies are better than is commonly assumed. In particular, the paper presents a number of radical proposals which would change existing practices in police work, court procedure and correctional strategies
