Disease and crime are increasingly conflated in the contemporary world. News reports proclaim "epidemics" of crime, politicians denounce terrorism as a lethal pathological threat, and "epidemiological criminology" merges public health with criminal justice to provide analytical tools for criminal justice practitioners and health care professionals. This volume explores the discursive construction of crime and disease across a range of geographical and historical settings, as well as the historical continuities and discontinuities between contemporary invocations of crime as disease and the emergence of criminology, epidemiology, and public health in the second half of the nineteenth century.
Robert Peckham is Co-Director of the Centre for the Humanities and Medicine at the University of Hong Kong, where he teaches in the Department of History.
