1. This book will find a market on theory courses, and it also has
significant potential to be used on a range of programmes such as
Inside-Out in the US, and the Prison-University Partnerships
Network in the UK. 2. While most theory books only offer brief
coverage of the origins of criminological thought, this is the main
focus of this book. Unlike other books that offer mainly a
twentieth century account, this traces the development of our
understanding of crime and deviance throughout the ages to inform
readers of the significant role the past has played in our
contemporary theories of crime. 3. Each chapter is written by an
incarcerated author housed at a men's medium and maximum-security
prison in the US who are supported by one or more co-authors:
university students who carry out the research for each chapter,
offering a new way of thinking about theory and making a
significant contribution to convict criminology.

Violence in activism has been a topic of interest for several
decades dating back to the earliest studies in the 1960s. This
study takes a multidisciplinary approach and investigates activism
within the contemporary context. It addresses the possible
influence that demographic characteristics and psychological
variables may have on the decision to engage in civil disobedience
and the type of behaviour chosen. Behaviours range from letter
writing to engaging in increasingly illegal and violent forms of
civil disobedience. Unlike previous research, this study also
investigates the influence that external instigating factors, such
as dimensions of threat, may have on violence in activism.
Dimensions of threat include the timing of the threat, the social
unit affected and the saliency of the threat.
