Opis

Criminology needs to rethink the problem of crime and re-engage its audience with strident theoretical analysis and powerful empirical data. In this book some of the world's most talented and polemical critical criminologists come together to offer new ideas and new avenues for analysis. The book contains chapters that address a broad range of issues central to 21st-century critical criminology.
