FROM THE COVER: “Marxist thought has profoundly affected the growth of modern criminology. The social and economic determinism in Marx heavily influenced Enrico Ferri, one of criminology's founding positivists. Today's positivists continue that tradition in their search for the sociological causes of crime. Yesterday's radicals, the positivists, have become today's traditionalists. And today's radicals once again proclaim Marx as their guide. This book demonstrates how today's Marxist criminologists have broadened their vision. In addition to crime causation, they examine the political and economic interests that influence the formation of law and justice. Power, alienation, capital and many other classic Marxist concepts have been revived and applied to a radical understanding of punishment, corrections, police and the administration of justice.

From the introduction: “VARIOUS cLaIMS have been made for the neighborhood approach to some of the problems of living in large cities. Some persons have said that strong local neighborhood associations

or councils will help to decentralize authority and bring it closer to the people. Specialists in adult education see merit in neighborhood organization for citizenship education. Settlement leaders feel it will help develop the friendliness and neighborliness that is lacking in urban communities. City planners see in neighborhood organization an effective means by which local community consciousness can be aroused to put life into plans for clusters of neighborhoods in large cities. Social workers think of it as enabling a community to tackle some of its own problems directly.
