Reviews for 50 Facts Everyone Should Know About Crime and Punishment in Britain

This book invites us to reflect on just how inadequately crime and punishment are explained if we fall into the trap of being seduced by dominant narratives. The wonderful criticality here serves as a superb resource for students and scholars, but also for a much wider audience of people fascinated by the subject of crime and society. Paul Taylor, University of Chester A highly informative approach to the study of crime and punishment presented in a concise, lively and innovative manner....an extremely useful learning resource for criminology students. Peter Joyce, Glyndwr University
