Approaching the study of crime from perspectives taken from radical sociology, Hester and Eglin challenge the traditional concern with criminal behaviour and its causes, arguing instead that crime is a matter of social construction.

A Sociology of Crime by Peter Eglin

The authors take three particular sociological perspectives, and use them to offer a distinct and critical reading of criminology, highlighting the ways that crime is, first and foremost, a matter of social definition. They provide a good introductory text which will be of great value to students.
