Criminology is a booming discipline, but at the same time it is
also deeply divided. This rich and diverse collection of essays
addresses the key questions at the heart of the debate.
What is criminology for? What is the impact of criminology? How
should criminology be done? What are the key issues and debates in
criminology today? What challenges does the discipline of
criminology face? How has criminology as a discipline changed over
the last few decades?
Addressing all of these questions in 34 essays by some of the
world's leading scholars, this volume reveals the deep fissures
that threaten this vibrant discipline. There is disagreement over
methodological issues - how best to conduct research. The subject
matter and aims of the discipline are contested as traditional
boundaries are tested and breached. At the same time there has been
a narrowing of the terms of debate more generally as numerous new
journals have been established for the various constituent
subfields of the broader discipline.
All of these factors give the impression that criminology is
fragmenting at the precise moment that, as a discipline, it is so
energetic and successful. Examining the nature of criminology and
the current state of the field, the contributors outline their
sense of and ambition for future development, challenging the
discipline to be more reflective. Above all, it provides a record
of the shape of the field at the close of the first decade of the
new millennium.
