"Anything that takes away from the terminally off key karaoke of so
much that passes for theory in criminology is to be welcomed, and
this is a fine effort to connect the study of crime and control to
an innovative set of theoretical possibilities. A rip-roaring read
that slaughters some sacred cows while throwing the odd baby out
with the bath water." - Richard Hobbs, University of Essex "Boldly
tackles big questions that the discipline has lately been unable or
unwilling to confront. Steve Hall's compelling and original book
should help to restart a crucial discussion about the connections
between crime and an increasingly volatile and predatory global
social order." - Elliott Currie, University of California, Irvine
"This erudite and original book synthesizes a dazzling array of
thought and evidence to interrogate criminological theory's
dominant conservative and liberal perspectives... This reviewer is
left with a sense of criminological theory's tiredness of
intellectual ambition and scope, while Hall's book leaves a sense
of rejuvenation and excitement." - Colin Webster, British Journal
of Criminology "A beautifully written, accessible and yet
theoretically rigorous piece of writing that should be read by
everyone interested in crime, law and social order. The book should
be read with an open mind and as a genuine response to the
suffocating inability of criminology to free itself from the
century old slanging-match between its liberal and conservative
wings." - Simon Winlow, University of York Steve Hall uses
cutting-edge philosophy and social theory to analyse patterns of
crime and harm and illuminate contemporary criminological issues.
He provides a fresh, relevant critique of the philosophical and
political underpinnings of criminological theory and the
theoretical canon's development during the twentieth century, and
applies new Continental philosophy to the criminological problem.
Unmatched in its sophistication yet written in a clear, accessible
style, this dynamic and highly engaging book is essential reading
for all students, researchers and academics working in criminology,
sociology, social policy, politics and the social sciences in
general.
