Ideology, Crime and Criminal Justice (Hardcover)

In this book six leading criminologists address the central issues of ideology, crime and criminal justice in a series of essays originally presented at a symposium held in honor of Sir Leon Radzinowicz in Cambridge in March 2001. Two of the papers focus on the history of criminal justice. Clive Emsley, in a major historiographical essay, examines the history of British policing, situating this within a broader European perspective. Sean McConville explores the contours of criminal justice history, focusing on the experience of Irish political prisoners and how they tested the limits of the criminal justice system in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The second key theme is the history and development of criminological thought. David Garland looks at ideas expressed in Radzinowic's Ideology and Crime, considers their salience in the context of the beginning of the twentieth century, and tests them against the development of criminological thought over the last thirty years.
