Description
Book SynopsisPeople feel confused about the bigger issues of our time such as crime, anti-social behaviour, Islamist radicalism, sexual harassment and populism. Traditionally, issues around morality have been neglected by criminologists. Through theory, case studies and discussion this book sheds a new and topical light on these concerns.
Trade Review“Over the past 35 years Hans Boutellier has become a leading diagnostician of Dutch society and beyond. His moral approach to crime is unique as well as provocative, and has transformed him into a new Durkheim for our liquid modern times. A Criminology of Moral Order will be the book that introduces his work to a truly global readership.” Tom Daems, Leuven Institute of Criminology
