Criminology has expanded significantly as an academic discipline,
but it has been argued that it is becoming increasingly socially
and politically irrelevant. This books aims to address this problem
by rethinking the theoretical underpinnings and research methods we
use, to form a criminology that is critical, engaged and useful.The
left realist approach to criminology has changed considerably over
the past twenty years and continues to make an important
contribution to the theoretical study of crime, as well as issues
such as crime prevention, policing, prisons, and community safety.
As one of the pioneers of realist criminology, Roger Matthews
presents a coherent overview of its development and continued
relevance. By providing a critique of some of the dominant
approaches in criminology, this book sets a new agenda for
theoretical and practical engagement and will appeal to all those
interested in making sense of contemporary forms of social control
and developing types of analysis and intervention which are
designed to produce a more effective and just criminal justice
system.
