- Written by one of criminology’s few
internationally-recognised figures.
- Has potential to be a classic, “must-read” text,
offering a sweeping overview of anxieties about crime in Europe and
the US and the public and political responses to them.
- Clear linear development through history from the Renaissance
to today.
- Unique in its comparative approach, comparing a European
reliance on the “state” and the US system of social
control.
- Broadly similar to Mennell in terms of level and style of book (though the markets/contents are of course different).
