Produktbeschreibung

Aiming to foster dissent among those who claim to know what criminology is about - and those who don't - this collection contains the responses of 12 writers, from different schools of thought, to the question "what is criminology about?" Building on a resurgence of interest in the nature of the object of criminology, their responses aim to deepen and expand the current debate. This collection will therefore be of considerable interest to contemporary proponents and students of criminology and law.
