Recenzje

Personalizing the State is a crucial piece of work, which warrants wide readership. Despite Koch's introductory guidance that a reader can dip into chapters of interest, it is a book well worth reading in full. Personalizing the State is an exemplary piece of ethnographic criminology, and it has set a high standard for criminological work moving forwards.
