Serious Offenders: A Historical Study of Habitual Criminals
examines the persistent offending careers of men and women
operating in northwest England between the 1840s and 1940s. The
book focuses on a group of serious and persistent offenders who as
well as offending in the region, had lengthy offending careers
spanning several decades in various other locations. These were
highly mobile persistent serious offenders who appear not to have
been so closely bound in to the processes and structures which
aided desistence from offending for the vast majority of the petty
offenders.
The authors discuss questions such as: Why did some people remain
minor offenders, whilst others developed into serious offenders?
What were the triggers which propelled previously minor offenders
towards persistent serious criminality? What part did changes in
criminal legislation play in these processes? They conclude by
drawing on the lessons to be learnt for today's debates about the
regulation and surveillance of serious habitual offenders.
