This book provides a comprehensive, introductory text for students
taking courses in crime and criminal justice history. It covers all
of the key historical topics central to an understanding of the
current criminal justice system, including the development of the
police, the courts and the mechanisms of punishment (from the
gallows to the prison). The role of the victim in the criminal
justice system, changing perceptions of criminals, long-term trends
in violent crime, and the rise of surveillance society also receive
detailed analysis. In addressing each of these issues and
developments, the authors draw on the latest research in this
rapidly expanding field to explore a range of historiographical and
criminological debates. This new edition continues its exploration
of criminal justice history right through to the present day and
discusses recent events in the criminal justice world. Each chapter
now ends with a 'Modern parallels' section - a detailed case study
providing historical analysis pertinent to a specific contemporary
issue in the field of criminal justice and drawing parallels
between historical context and modern phenomenon. Each chapter also
includes a 'Key questions' section, which guides the reader towards
appropriate sources for further study. The authors draw on their
in-depth knowledge and provide an accessible and lively guide for
those approaching the subject for the first time, or those wishing
to deepen their knowledge. This makes the book essential reading
for those teaching or studying modules on criminal justice,
policing and youth justice.
