Philosophy, Crime, and Criminology

"This book is a wonderful read, and the first of its kind. It should be required of anybody who calls himself or herself a 'criminologist.' I think this work will be exciting and stimulating for students, and in this sense, it is a heuristic masterpiece! Such a book has been long overdue!" --Gregg Barak, author of Integrating Criminologies "This book begins to fill a vacuum in the theoretical literature by critiquing the socially constructed nature of theory and concepts. Many, perhaps most, scholars will likely disagree with the content, but that is one of its greatest strengths. The collection challenges us to think about crime in a new way." --Jim Thomas, author of Prisoner Litigation: The Paradox of the Jailhouse Lawyer
