In spite of the fact that crime is an emotive topic, the question
of emotion has been largely overlooked in criminological research,
which has tended instead to examine criminal conduct in terms of
structural background variables or rational decision-making.
Building on research into emotions within sociology, this book
seeks to show how criminologists can in fact take emotions
seriously and why criminology needs to begin considering emotions
as a central element of its theoretical, conceptual and
methodological apparatus. Thematically organised and presenting
both empirical and theoretical studies, Emotions and Crime pays
attention to the different emotional dimensions of crime,
victimhood, the criminal justice system, the practice of
criminological research and the discipline of criminology. Bringing
together the work of an international team of authors and
discussing research into violence, punishment, gender, imprisonment
and mass atrocity, this volume shows how crime and emotions are
inextricably connected, and illustrates both the hidden and
pervasive role of emotions in criminological work.
