This book brings together ten leading British criminologists to
explore the contemporary politics of crime and its control. The
volume is produced in honor of Britain's most important
criminological scholar - David Downes of the London School of
Economics. The essays are grouped around the three major themes
that run through David Downes' work - sociological theory, crime
and deviance; comparative penal policy; and, the politics of crime.
The third theme also provides the overarching unifying thread for
the volume.
The contributions are broad ranging and cover such subjects as
criminological theory and the new East End of London, the practice
of comparative criminology including an analysis of variations in
penal cultures within the United States, restorative justice in
Colombia, New Labor's politics and policy in relation to dangerous
personality-disordered offenders, the legal construction of
torture, and the future for a social democratic criminology.
