Most developed economies are characterized by high levels of inequality and an inability to provide stability or opportunity for many of their citizens.

One such alternative is provided by Marxian economics. In recent decades the field has seen tremendous theoretical development and Marxian perspectives have begun to appear in public discourse in unprecedented ways.
This handbook contains thirty-seven original essays from...

Since its introduction in the latter half of the 1980s, the meticulous study of distinct criminal career dimensions, like onset, frequency and crime mix, has yielded a wealth of information on the way crime develops over the life span. Policymakers in turn have used this information in their efforts to tailor criminal justice interventions to be both effective and efficient. Life-course criminology studies the ways in which the criminal career is embedded in the totality of the individual life-course and seeks to clarify the causal mechanisms governing this process.
The...
