This book uses historical data to directly address modern
criminological debates. There is currently a huge growth of
interest in histories of crime, and intellectual conversations and
connections between historians and criminologists are becoming much
more frequent. However, published work which uses historical data
to this extent is rare. This book's aim is to draw a wide audience
from the worlds of criminology, history, and social policy and
engage in a genuinely interdisciplinary debate. This book addresses
a number of important questions about offenders' persistence in, or
desistance from, crime and questions the current theoretical
frameworks that are given to explain why some people stop, or slow
down, their offending, and why offenders' children become involved
in crime. By using criminal registers, census material, and
newspaper reports from 1880 -1940 for one industrial town in
North-West England, this book asks how and why did some people stop
offending, and what part did employment, relationship formation,
and family responsibility play in that process; was criminality
passed on from parent to child, and if so, how; and to what extent
were persistent offenders also persistent victims?
