This new book brings together some of the leading criminologists
across Europe, to showcase the best of European criminology. This
Handbook aims to reflect the range and depth of current work in
Europe, and to counterbalance the impact of the sometimes insular
and ethnocentric Anglo-American criminological tradition. The
end-product is a collection of twenty-eight chapters illustrating a
truly comparative and interdisciplinary European criminology.
The editors have assembled a cast of leading voices to reflect
on differences and commonalities, elaborate on theoretically
grounded comparisons and reflect on emerging themes in criminology
in Europe. After the editors introduction, the book is organised in
three parts:
- Five chapters offering historical, theoretical and policy
oriented overviews of European issues in crime and crime
control,
- Seven chapters looking at different dimensions of crime in
Europe, includingcrime trends, state crime, gender and crime and
urban safety
Fifteen chapters examining the variety of institutional
responses, exploring issues such as policing, juvenile justice,
punishment, green crime and the role of the victim.
This book gives some indication of the richness and scope of the
emerging comparative European criminology. It will be required
reading for anyone who wants to understand trends in crime and its
control across Europe. It will be a valuable teaching resource,
especially at postgraduate level, as well as an important reference
point for researchers and scholars of criminology across
Europe.
