The Routledge Handbook of European Criminology (Hardcover): Sophie Body-Gendrot, Mike Hough, Klara Kerezsi, Rene Levy, Sonja... The Routledge Handbook of European Criminology (Hardcover)
Sophie Body-Gendrot, Mike Hough, Klara Kerezsi, Rene Levy, Sonja Snacken
R6,781 Discovery Miles 67 810 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

This new book brings together some of the leading criminologists across Europe, to showcase the best of European criminology. This Handbook aims to reflect the range and depth of current work in Europe, and to counterbalance the impact of the sometimes insular and ethnocentric Anglo-American criminological tradition. The end-product is a collection of twenty-eight chapters illustrating a truly comparative and interdisciplinary European criminology.

The editors have assembled a cast of leading voices to reflect on differences and commonalities, elaborate on theoretically grounded comparisons and reflect on emerging themes in criminology in Europe. After the editors introduction, the book is organised in three parts:

  • Five chapters offering historical, theoretical and policy oriented overviews of European issues in crime and crime control,
  • Seven chapters looking at different dimensions of crime in Europe, includingcrime trends, state crime, gender and crime and urban safety

Fifteen chapters examining the variety of institutional responses, exploring issues such as policing, juvenile justice, punishment, green crime and the role of the victim.
This book gives some indication of the richness and scope of the emerging comparative European criminology. It will be required reading for anyone who wants to understand trends in crime and its control across Europe. It will be a valuable teaching resource, especially at postgraduate level, as well as an important reference point for researchers and scholars of criminology across Europe.

Special offer of 125.00 for three months after publication. Offer expires 23rd October 2013.

Crime and Culture - An Historical Perspective (Paperback): Rene Levy, Amy Gilman Srebnick Crime and Culture - An Historical Perspective (Paperback)
Rene Levy, Amy Gilman Srebnick
R1,618 Discovery Miles 16 180 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

Scholarly interest in the history of crime has grown dramatically in recent years and, because scholars associated with this work have relied on a broad social definition of crime which includes acts that are against the law as well as acts of social banditry and political rebellion, crime history has become a major aspect not only of social history, but also of cultural as well as legal studies. This collection explores how the history of crime provides a way to study time, place and culture. Adopting an international and interdisciplinary perspective to investigate the historical discourses of crime in Europe and the United States from the sixteenth to the late twentieth century, these original works provide new approaches to understanding the meaning of crime in modern western culture and underscore the new importance given to crime and criminal events in historical studies. Written by both well-known historians and younger scholars from across the globe, the essays reveal that there are important continuities in the history of crime and its representations in modern culture, despite particularities of time and place.
