Method in Criminology: A Philosophical Primer

By Bruce D. Cristina.

What are the unstated theoretical and philosophical assumptions that underlie the modern study of criminology? Given the awful state of crime, justice and punishment in modern civilization, maybe it's time to rethink the whole enterprise? DiCristina did just that back in 1995. Maybe we should revisit his thinking, pause for a moment and ask ourselves if there is a better way? DiCristina courageously concludes that anarchy is the solution. Or maybe the field has already reached that condition? You decide!

Discovering Criminology

Edited by Graeme R. Newman, Michael J. Lynch and David H. Galaty.

From W. Byron Groves. This rare book brings together the writings of Casey Byron Groves, possibly the most brilliant criminologist in America during the 1990s. Casey's approach was unique, unorthodox for the 1990s, and quite frankly, 'in your face." From "organizational perversion" to "punishing the privileged", the topics he covered were diverse, and the scholars on whose shoulders he stood were equally diverse, from Habermas and Hegel to van den Haag and Herrnstein. Only 200 copies of this book were ever printed.
