Despite ethnography's long and distinguished history in the social
sciences, its use in criminology is still relatively rare. Over the
years, however, ethnographers in the United States and abroad have
amassed an impressive body of work on core criminological topics
and groups, including gang members, sex workers, drug dealers, and
drug users. Ethnographies on criminal justice institutions have
also flourished, with studies on police, courts, and prisons
providing deep insights into how these organizations operate and
shape the lives of people who encounter them. The Oxford Handbook
of Ethnographies of Crime and Criminal Justice provides critical
and current reviews of key research topics, issues, and debates
that crime ethnographers have been grappling with for over a
century. This volume brings together an outstanding group of
ethnographers to discuss various research traditions, the ethical
and pragmatic challenges associated with conducting crime-related
fieldwork, relevant policy recommendations for practitioners in the
field, and areas of future research for crime ethnographers. In
addition to exhaustive overview essays, the handbook also presents
case studies that serve as exemplars for how ethnographic inquiry
can contribute to our understanding of crime and criminal
justice-related topics.
