Crime, Police, and Penal Policy by Clive Emsley

Crime, Police, and Penal Policy by Clive Emsley

How did ideas about crime and criminals change in Europe from around 1750 to 1940? How did European states respond to these changes with the development of police and penal institutions? Clive Emsley addresses these questions and reveals that many ideas hailed as new in current debate on crime and its solutions have a long and illustrious history.

Review from previous edition The book is conceptually sophisticated..It is also consistently interesting. In sum, the book is a welcome addition to the literature * Thomas Gallanis, Continuity and Change *
Excellent and deserve[s] a wide readership...testament to Emsley's attention to detail, breadth of knowledge, and ability to make history accessible and interesting. * Drew Gray, Family and Community History *
as always, Professor Emsley's work is rich with information and invites reflection ... His book will long remain an invaluable tool for both historians and sociologists. * Philippe Robert, Crime, Histoire, et Sociétés *
