The Eternal Recurrence of Crime and Control features contributions
from a distinguished group of criminologists from the UK, the US
and Australia, brought together to honour the work of Paul Rock,
former Professor of Social Institutions at the London School of
Economics. Edited by Tim Newburn, David Downes and Dick Hobbs, it
offers an exploration of the theories which underpin much of
current criminological thinking. The resulting thirteen essays all
examine and build upon the central themes associated with Paul
Rock's work: social and criminological theory, policy development
and policy-making, and victims and victimology. Together, the
chapters draw on some of his landmark publications for inspiration
and discuss the key findings presented over his 50 year career.
These include his contribution to the theoretical development of
symbolic interactionism and approaches to sociological theory and
practice, as well as an analysis of the concept of criminal justice
as a social institution and the resurgence of treatment programmes
for women offenders. Also of note is a critical study of the
Macpherson enquiry into the death of Stephen Lawrence, an
ethnographic exploration of the repercussions of incarceration on
prisoners' families and inmates, and two papers drawing on Paul
Rock's work with victims and secondary victims of homicide.
