This book critically explores the development of radical
criminology through a range of written Ancient Greek works
including epic and lyrical poetry, drama and philosophy, across
different chapters. It traces the development of political power
and the concepts of law, legitimacy, crime, justice and deviance in
the Ancient Greek world and the political struggles that propelled
that development, using the conflict perspective as a conceptual
tool of the sociological analysis of reality. Theoretical
discussions of crime and justice typically stem from the better
known works of Plato or Aristotle although this book explores the
works preceding these. This book will appeal to those interested in
the (pre)history of criminology and the historical production of
criminological knowledge.
