"The New Criminology was written at a particular time and place; it
was a product of 1968 and its aftermath: a world turned upside down
.It was a time of great changes in personal politics and a surge of
politics on the left: Marxism, Anarchism, Situationism as well as
radical social democratic ideas became centre stage." Jock Young,
from the new introduction. Taylor, Walton and Young's The New
Criminology is one of the seminal texts in Criminology. First
published in 1973, it marked a watershed moment in the development
of critical criminological theory and is as relevant today as it
was forty years ago. It was one of the first texts to bridge the
gap between criminological and sociological theory and demonstrated
the weaknesses of classical and positivist criminology. Critics at
the time saw it as the first truly comprehensive critique of
Anglo-American studies of crime and deviance. Reproduced
unabridged, the fortieth anniversary edition includes a brand new
introductory essay from Jock Young placing the book in its
intellectual context and sequence and looking at the theories which
built up to it and the theories that have been built upon since. It
is essential reading for all serious students engaged in
criminological theory and is destined to inspire future
generations.
