Public Criminology? by Ian Loader

This book is a sociological account of how criminologists have understood their craft, the positions they have taken on the controversies of their day, and an analysis of the dilemmas that confront those who work in the field today.'Loader and Sparks have produced an engaging, clever and lively book..'
