Sommario/riassunto

A thoroughly engrossing invitation to criminologists to take history seriously. It is a compelling book, which casts a critical eye on



complexity, continuity and change. Written with flair and imagination, it provides a bold, dynamic framework to challenge the existing parameters of criminological inquiry. Original, ambitious and thought provoking - this is an important and timely work. Eamonn Carrabine, Professor of Criminology, Department of Sociology, University of Essex A timely and refreshing read from start to finish. By offering complex answers to complex problems, Professor Farrall presents a compelling vision of criminology which is underpinned by interdisciplinarity, context, temporal processes and agency. Essential reading for anyone seeking to develop and challenge their own thinking around issues of crime. Neil Chakraborti, Professor in Criminology, University of Leicester.
