This book assembles essays by leading scholars in their fields of
criminology and socio-legal studies. John Braithwaite, John Hagan,
Jack Katz, Nicola Lacey, Michael Levi, Joan McCord, Dario Melossi,
Steven Messner and Richard Rosenfeld explore new directions in
contemporary theorising about the impact of social and cultural
dynamics on crime and social control. These essays have in common
that they transcend disciplinary boundaries by combining
criminological and socio-legal perspectives; in so doing they bring
fresh perspectives to the analysis of crime in market societies and
in the global market place. The authors do not share the
apocalyptic and dramatic predictions of rising crime rates, but are
aware of the "double movement" of social change and the
counteracting forces that emerge in its course. These essays
promote an integrative perspective that bridges the gap between
etiological criminology and a constructionist approach as well as
between explanatory and normative theory.
