Rezensionen
The book is beautifully organized, well-written, and very interesting. It has a trio of virtues: the author does an excellent job of defining and showing the advantages of integrative approaches. He also refuses to allow readers to separate crime from criminal justice. This strikes me as distinctive and rather original. And I very much like the way he helps us to see how U.S. criminology exists in relation to a global approach. -- Lynn Chancer, Hunter College, CUNY Barak provides the first integrated analysis of crime, criminal justice, and criminology through a global lens, revealing the importance of a global perspective for the study of crime and justice in the 21st century.

I also am very impressed with the way in which he incorporates the new thinking about globalization and crime and adding a critique of the risk perspectives... Overall, this book will be an important text for courses where instructors want to explore different ideas and approaches about crime. It is provocative in a positive way. -- Leslie W.

Some of the material presented within this text is of a complex nature. For this reason, I feel this text is appropriate for upper level undergraduate courses or even graduate classes. For general reading, I highly recommend this text for those who are interested in integration or globalization as it relates to criminology. Journal of Theoretical and Philosophical Criminology…mehr
