As it has developed, criminology has become rather distanced from one of it's original sources - criminal law. Law and Crime provides a clearly-written, stimulating and historically-rooted introduction to criminal law and reminds us of its continuing relevance to criminology
Law and Crime is an invaluable guide for anyone wishing to explore the relationship between criminal law and criminology; between doctrine and the practices of punishment. It is a provocative and engaging exploration of the criminal law as a social institution that will be of considerable interest to criminologists and criminal lawyers alike
Very good book, clear and easy for students to read.
This book should provide a helpful historical perspective for students, particularly those who find it difficult to see beyond the present day system of criminal justice.
This is written in an engaging style and will provide useful background reading.
Excellent introduction. Will be recommending this as an essential purchase.
An original and thought-provoking book which situates the criminal law in a deep and rich social, historical and cultural context.
Whilst the book is a good introductory text it is not in sufficient detail for a LLB law criminal law module - I will be reccomending it however as background reading to any keen students who contact me prior to the course starting
A very comprehensive and accessible text that will be useful to not only criminology students, but those wishing a greater understanding of aspects regarding the law and the criminal justice system.
