- Summary
- "This book brings together ten leading criminologists to explore the contemporary politics of crime and its control. The volume is produced in honour of one of Britain's most important criminological scholars - David Dowries of the London School of Economics. The essays are grouped around the three major themes that run through David Dowries' work - sociological theory, crime, and deviance; comparative penal policy; and the politics of crime. The third theme also provides the overarching and unifying thread for the volume."--BOOK JACKET.
