Disease and crime are increasingly conflated in the contemporary
world. News reports proclaim "epidemics" of crime, while
politicians denounce terrorism as a lethal pathological threat.
Recent years have even witnessed the development of a new subfield,
"epidemiological criminology," which merges public health with
criminal justice to provide analytical tools for criminal justice
practitioners and health care professionals. Little attention,
however, has been paid to the historical contexts of these disease
and crime equations, or to the historical continuities and
discontinuities between contemporary invocations of crime as
disease and the emergence of criminology, epidemiology, and public
health in the second half of the nineteenth century. When, how and
why did this pathologization of crime and criminalization of
disease come about? This volume addresses these critical questions,
exploring the discursive construction of crime and disease across a
range of geographical and historical settings.
