FORMATPaperback LANGUAGEEnglish CONDITIONBrand New Publisher Description
Criminology is a booming discipline, yet one which can appear divided and fractious. In this rich and diverse collection of essays, some of the world's leading criminologists respond to a series of questions designed to investigate the state, impact, and future challenges of the discipline: What is criminology for? What is the impact of criminology? How should criminology be done? What are the key issues and debates in criminology today? What challenges does thediscipline of criminology face? How has criminology as a discipline changed over the last few decades?The resulting essays identify a series of intellectual, methodological, andideological borders. Borders, in criminology as elsewhere, are policed, yet they are also frequently transgressed; criminologists can and do move across them to plunder, admire, or learn from other regions. While some boundaries may be more difficult or dangerous to cross than others it is rare to find an entirely secluded locale or community.In traversing ideological, political, geographical, and disciplinary borders, criminologists bring training, tools, and concepts, aswell as key texts to share with foreigners. From such exchanges, over time, borders may break down, shift, or spring up, enriching those who take the journey and those who are visited. It is, in otherwords, in criminology's capacity for and commitment to reflexivity, on which the strength of the field depends.

Review
`This is...long overdue volume, which ultimately aims to encourage reflexivity both within criminology and beyond. This aim is initiated immediately; the introductory chapter reflects upon the various problems the authors encountered in enlisting scholars to contribute to the volume, beginning with a discussion as to reasons why certain academics refused their invitation...the essays in this book collectively represent a series of enticing and nuanceddebates about what criminology is perceived to be, and what it potentially can become.'Claudine Young, The Cambrian Law Review 2010
