An anthology of the work of Tony Parker. Described as the "Mayhew
of his times", his work spans the 1960s to the 1990s and he speaks
intimately to all kinds of offenders, inadequates, professional
criminals, sex offenders, frauds and false pretence merchants. This
collection of Tony Parker's work, selected by him shortly before
his death in 1996, provides the very essence of his contribution.
The introduction by Professor Terence Morris locates Parker within
the criminological tradition. There are six major parts to the
book: "Inadequates" - the stage army of offenders who keep
returning to prison; "Villainy" - a way of life on professional
criminals; "Some Answers to a Question What Should a Judge Do With
You?"; "Nonces" - on sex offenders; "Frauds and False Merchants";
"At Deaths Door" - those sentenced to death or to life imprisonment
for murder. In the final section, some of Tony Parker's
prescriptions for interviewing are set out and Lyn Smith concludes
with some reflections on his methodology.
