Dangerous Offenders invites us to rethink the received wisdom on violent and sexual offenders, who seem so feared and so widely debated in this era of unparalleled affluence. Invaluable for students of criminology and sociology of risk.

Dangerous Offenders Zusammenfassung

Dangerous Offenders: Punishment and Social Order Mark Brown

This highly controversial new book considers how the dangerous offender has become such a figure of collective anxiety for the citizens of rationalised Western societies. The authors consider:
* ideas of danger and social threat in historical perspective
* legal responses to violent criminals
* attempts to predict dangerous behaviour
* why particular groups, such as women, remain at risk from violent crime.
This inspired collection invites us to rethink the received wisdom on dangerous offenders, and will be of interest to students and scholars in the fields of criminology and the sociology of Risk.

Dangerous Offenders Bewertungen

'This volume presents a solid framework of current data and theoretical analyses of the meaning of 'dangerousness' in the current political and penal climate. At the same time, it illuminates many of the puzzles, with which professionals have to wrestle.' - Current Issues in Criminal Justice
