    Book SynopsisThis book sets an agenda for the development of historical approaches to criminology. It defines historical criminology', explores its characteristic strengths and limitations, and considers its potential to enhance, revise and fundamentally challenge dominant modes of thinking about crime and social responses to crime. It considers the following questions: What is historical criminology? What does thinking historically about crime and justice entail? How is historical criminology currently practised? What are the advantages and disadvantages of different approaches to historical criminology? How can historical criminology reshape understandings of crime and social responses to crime? How does thinking historically bear upon major theoretical, conceptual and methodological questions in criminological research? What does thinking historically have to offer criminological scholarship more brTrade ReviewWhat does it mean to do ‘historical criminology’? To put time – and therefore change, events, flows and durations – at the centre of criminological inquiry? What are the exemplary texts that have pursued that approach? And how does that enterprise fit into the larger disciplines of ‘criminology’ and ‘history’? These questions motivate this lively, engaging, important new book: the first to organize and reflect upon a field of research that is as diverse as it is interesting. ---David Garland, New York University The past is a foreign country, and this book is a perfect companion to navigate its unknown terrain, avoid data minefields and find the treasures awaiting the criminologist. Historical Criminology invites us to cross borders between the past, present and the future. The authors present a novel approach to connecting the past and present of crime and justice, which will have a decisive impact on the field. A book for all criminologists who know that the past never lasts but the future is forever. ---Susanne Karstedt, Griffith University Historical Criminology demands criminologists of all persuasions ask themselves: what do they mean when they talk of the past, present, and future? Its aim is to decentre the presentism that so hampers criminological thinking. It does this extremely well. To be clear: Historical Criminology is not setting out another subfield of criminology. This book asks us all to reflect upon how we think about the process of time and in so doing will be essential reading for anyone claiming to be thinking criminologically. ---Sandra Walklate, University of Liverpool & Monash University 'What does it mean to do "historical criminology"?

  • Taylor & Francis Ltd Delinquency and Drift Revisited Volume 21

    15 in stock

    Book SynopsisFifty years ago, David Matza wrote Delinquency and Drift, challenging the ways people thought about the development of criminals. Today, Delinquency and Drift Revisited reminds criminologists that they ignore Matzaâs writings at their own intellectual peril. Matzaâs work shows his insights on a range of core criminological issues, such as: the complex nature of culture and its connection to criminality; the extent to which rule-breakers are truly different from the rest of us; the importance of focusing on human agency in understanding the subjective side of offending; the interaction of propensity and peer influences in criminal involvement; the role of the state in signifying individuals as deviant and entrapping them in criminal roles; and the processes that lead offenders to desist from crime. This volume was not written to pay homage to Matza, but to show how his ideas remain relevant to criminology today by continuing to question conventional wisdomTrade ReviewLittle did I expect in 1964 that Delinquency and Drift would remain an important work more than half a century later. It is heartening that the ideas expressed continue to have relevance for today's study of crime and delinquency. I enjoyed reading the volume, and I hope others will as well. —David Matza, Professor Emeritus, University of California, BerkeleyFor those unfamiliar with David Matza’s work, this thoughtful collection serves as an essential introduction. For those who know his work—or think they do—it serves as a reminder of how important Matza’s contribution has been. This is a timely and welcome exploration of the work of one of the most enduring criminologists of our time. —Elliot Currie, Professor, University of California, IrvineThe aptly titled volume Delinquency and Drift Revisited: The Criminology of David Matza and Beyond is a remarkable tribute to the importance of the work of David Matza to both the development and future of the conceptualization of deviance and crime. While many festschrifts glorify the past and emphasize the contributions of a scholar’s work to the present, the essays in this volume provide a framework for innovative future research in diverse areas based on Matza’s insights.—Marvin Krohn, Professor, University of Florida Table of ContentsContentsPrefacePart I.
