Developed by Bruno Latour and his collaborators, actor-network
theory (ANT) offers crimes studies a worthy intellectual challenge.
It requires us to take the performativity turn, consider the role
of objects in our analysis and conceptualize all actants (human and
non-human) as relational beings. Thus power is not the property of
one party, but rather it is an effect of the relationships among
actants. This innovative collection provides a series of empirical
and theoretical contributions that shows: c The importance of
conceptualizing and analyzing technologies as crucial actants in
crime and crime control. c The many facets of ANT: its various
uses, its theoretical blending with other approaches, its
methodological implications for the field. c The fruitfulness of
ANT for studying technologies and crime studies: its potential and
limitations for understanding the world and revamping crime studies
research goals. Students, academics and policy-makers will benefit
from reading this collection in order to explore
criminology-related topics in a different way.
