Understanding crime and social policy encourages readers to reflect upon the close connections, and sometimes tensions, between crime reduction and social policy agendas and is aimed at two audiences. The first is students on courses in criminology, criminal justice and social policy. The second is practitioners from across the public, private and voluntary sector.
Reviews / Votes
?"Provides a useful overview of the complex and often messy business of policy making through the use of some very contemporary and relevant examples of areas of crime and social policy concern." Journal of Social Policy "[Provides a] rigorous challenging of dominant assumptions while leading readers through a very complex policy-making landscape." People, Place and Policy "An engaging, wide-ranging and up-to-date introductory text for students and practitioners who wish to get to grips with the interconnections between criminology as the study of crime and social policy as the study of human well-being." Dr Ros Burnett, Centre for Criminology, University of Oxford. "This is a welcome exploration of the linkages and relationships between criminal justice and social policy. Combining critical scholarship with a practical assessment of current policy, it will be of interest both to academics and practitioners." Richard Garside, Director, Centre for Crime and Justice Studies "A well-researched text written by a respected author." Nigel Rourke, University of Cumbria.More details
