Biographical note
Peter Eglin, Wilfrid Laurier University, Canada; Stephen Hester, University of Wales, Bangor.
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.
Les mer
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.
