Produktinformationen zu „Controlling Crime, Controlling Society (ePub)“
How did anxieties about crime and deviance emerge in the modern
world, first in Europe and then in America? How did they come to
occupy centre-stage in the ongoing drama played out in public
discourse? And how have theories of crime and deviance related to
the actual practices of social control and punishment, and to the
main currents of social conflict?
In this illuminating new book, Dario Melossi addresses these
crucial questions, and at the same time offers an engaging survey
of the theories of social control, crime and deviance. From the
early work of Beccaria and Lombroso, via the pioneering sociology
of 1920s Chicago, to 60s radicalism and the subsequent emergence of
a "culture of fear", the book covers the full range of
theoretical thinking in this area, including more recent
assessments of mass imprisonment in post-9/11 America. In a sharp
and lucid style, Melossi argues that two orientations have always
been battling each other in society, one in which the control of
crime is paramount, and the other in which controlling crime
becomes secondary to the exercise of wider social control.
Conceived and written by a scholar who has been active for many
years both in Europe and the United States, the text will be an
invaluable aid to advanced students and scholars of sociology and
criminology on both sides of the Atlantic.
