Across the globe, challenging and contentious issues about community safety and security increasingly exercise governments and police forces as well as, for example, town planners and car-park designers. Consequently, as a specialist area within the wider discipline of criminology, crime reduction has never before enjoyed such prominence in public and scholarly discourse. With research on and around the subject flourishing as never before, this new title in the Routledge Major Works series, Critical Concepts in Criminology, meets the need for an authoritative reference work to make sense...

Over the past fifty years, the apparatus of surveillance in modern societies has expanded to such an extent that almost every aspect of our public and private lives is now open to scrutiny and analysis. Each time we walk down a city street or pass through a shopping centre, CCTV cameras record our every move.

Personal information held by a bewildering array of state and private organizations is becoming increasingly centralized and searchable. As a...

Indeed, both within and without the academy, there is a growing realization that state criminality is endemic, and acts as a significant barrier to global security and development. Now, to make some sense of this flourishing site of research, and to understand the wide range of approaches and complex theories that have informed thinking in this area,...

A new title from Routledge, "Crime II" is an essential successor to the editor s earlier collection, published to acclaim in 2002.
Bean s "Crime" (978-0-415-25264-5) (2002) was the first comprehensive anthology of the field s canonical and cutting-edge research, and this new four-volume assembly of major works now takes full account of the many important developments that have taken place since its appearance.
