Rezensionen

Fairness and Crime presents readers with an intriguing perspective on the concept of "fairness" as it relates to aspects of the law, social reaction, and the subsequent definition of crime and crime causation. The author organizes the book in a concise manner that is compelling, convincing, and quite easy to follow. A journey through the text allows us to explore the diverse theoretical underpinning of criminal behavior through a critical lens and analysis of crime control in various dimensions of the criminal justice system, leading to a conclusive perspective of fairness as an integral component of this study.
