| Summary: | From the perspective of mainstream criminology, the essays collected in this volume may seem to be something of a collateral enterprise - or they may be seen as extending the reach of criminology to others areas of importance. Rather than focusing directly on crime and criminals - these essays seek to identify the forces that determine how, why and with what consequences societies choose to deal with crime and criminals as they do. The volume is divided into three sections, each of which explores matters intrinsic to an understanding of how, why, and with what consequences the politics of crime and punishment proceeds as it does. |
