Sir Leon Radzinowicz is one of the key figures in the development
of criminology in the 20th century, working as an academic
criminologist, an adviser to government, and as the founding
director of the Institute of Criminology at the University of
Cambridge. This account of the development of criminology
intertwines his personal narrative as a criminologist with the
development of criminology itself. From a long career spanning 70
years from the 1920s to the late 1990s, he offers an overview of
the changing understanding of crime and criminals, of criminal
justice systems and penology, and of the tensions and dilemmas
these pose for democratic societies. His own work as a scholar,
adviser to governments, and the founding director of the first
criminological research institute in Britain results in this book
offering a well informed account of the intellectual and
institutional history of criminology in Britain and Europe, and its
place within a wider comparative perspective.
