This book critically explores the development of radical
criminological thought through the social, political and cultural
history of three periods in Ancient Greece: the Classical, the
Hellenistic and the Greco-Roman periods. It follows on from the
previous volume which examined concepts of law, legitimacy, crime,
justice and deviance through a range of Ancient Greek works
including epic and lyrical poetry, drama and philosophy, across
different chapters. This book examines the three centuries that
followed which were very important for the history of radical
thinking about crime and law. It explores the socio-political
struggles and how ruptures produced breaks in knowledge production
and developed the field of deviance and social control. It also
examines the key literature, religions and philosophers of each
period. The gap between social consensus and social conflict
deepened during this time and influenced the theoretical discourse
on crime. These elements continue to exist in the theoretical
quests of the modern age of criminology. This book examines the
links between the origins of radical criminology and its future. It
speaks to those interested in the (pre)history of criminology and
the historical production of criminological knowledge.
This book critically explores the development of radical
criminology through a range of written Ancient Greek works
including epic and lyrical poetry, drama and philosophy, across
different chapters. It traces the development of political power
and the concepts of law, legitimacy, crime, justice and deviance in
the Ancient Greek world and the political struggles that propelled
that development, using the conflict perspective as a conceptual
tool of the sociological analysis of reality. Theoretical
discussions of crime and justice typically stem from the better
known works of Plato or Aristotle although this book explores the
works preceding these. This book will appeal to those interested in
the (pre)history of criminology and the historical production of
criminological knowledge.
This book critically explores the development of radical
criminological thought through the social, political and cultural
history of the Middle Ages to the Renaissance. It follows on from
the previous volume which examined Classical Greece until the
emergence of the early Christian movement in the Roman empire.
Through separate chapters, it discusses the key literature (myths,
fairy tales and Shakespeare), religions and philosophers of the
era, and the development of early radical views and issues over
time. This book examines the links between the origins of radical
criminology and its future. It speaks to those interested in the
(pre)history of criminology and the historical production of
criminological knowledge, drawing on Criminology, Sociology,
Classics, History, Philosophy, Ancient Literature and Politics.

Critical Criminology of Leisure aims to play the role of an
introductory essay, of a concise guide for the theoretical study
and research on a social field that emerges as the point of
intersection of two established scientific subjects: leisure and
crime. The concept of "leisure" is used as a methodological tool,
as privileged social time for the study of the social problems of
modern societies, and more specifically for the study of the issue
of criminalization or the forms of action (or inactivity) of formal
social control agents and the legitimization of this action by the
public.
