The New Criminology - Ian Taylor - Bog

The New Criminology is one of the seminal texts in Criminology. First published in 1973, it marked a watershed moment in the development of critical criminological theory and is as relevant today as it was forty years ago. It was one of the first texts to bridge the gap between criminological and sociological theory and demonstrated the weaknesses of classical and positivist criminology. Reproduced unabridged, this fortieth anniversary edition includes a brand new introductory essay from Jock Young and is essential reading for all serious students engaged in criminological theory and is destined to inspire future generations.
