"Writing the History of Crime" investigates the development of
historical writing on the subject of crime and its wider place in
modern social historiography. It examines long-standing and
emerging traditions in history writing, with separate chapters on
legal and scientific approaches, as well as on social, cultural,
gender and empire history. Each chapter then explores these
historical approaches in relation to crime, paying particular
attention to the relationship between theory and the interpretation
of evidence.Rather than a timeline for the historical development
of ideas about crime or a catalogue of the range of topics that
comprise the subject matter, "Writing the History of Crime" reveals
the ideas behind crime as a subject of historical investigation; it
looks at how these ideas generate questions that may be asked about
the past and the way in which these questions are answered. This is
a crucial text for anyone interested in the history of crime, the
historiography of social history or the art of history writing more
broadly.
