Palgrave is publishing a new book
on the history of radical criminology.
ABOUT THE BOOK
This book critically explores the
development of radical criminological thought through the social, political and
cultural history of three periods in Ancient Greece: the Classical, the
Hellenistic and the Greco-Roman periods. It follows on from the previous volume
which examined concepts of law, legitimacy, crime, justice and deviance through
a range of Ancient Greek works including epic and lyrical poetry, drama and
philosophy, across different chapters. This book examines the three centuries
that followed which were very important for the history of radical thinking
about crime and law. It explores the socio-political struggles and how ruptures
produced breaks in knowledge production and developed the field of deviance and
social control. It also examines the key literature, religions and philosophers
of each period. The gap between social consensus and social conflict deepened
during this time and influenced the theoretical discourse on crime. These
elements continue to exist in the theoretical quests of the modern age of
criminology. This book examines the links between the origins of radical
criminology and its future. It speaks to those interested in the (pre)history
of criminology and the historical production of criminological knowledge.
