Criminology by Tim Newburn | Waterstones

can be distinguished from other ways of talking and thinking about criminal conduct. Thus, for example, criminology’s claim to be an empirically-grounded, scientific undertaking sets it apart from moral and legal discourses, while its focus upon crime differentiates it from other social scientific genres, such as the sociology of deviance and control, whose objects of study are broader and not defined by the criminal law. Since the middle years of the twentieth century, criminology has also been increasingly marked off from other discourses by the trappings of a distinctive identity, with its own journals, professional associations, professorships, and institutes.Prisons and imprisonment The rise of the prison Imprisonment in Britain Prison security Strangeways and Woolf Trends in imprisonment Imprisonment and penal politics International trends Capital punishment The prison system Types of prison Private prisons Life on the inside Prisoners Incarceration and social exclusion Violence in prison Prison officers Release from prison Governance, accountability and human rights Independent inspection Grievance or complaints procedures Human rights and imprisonment Questions for further discussion Further reading Websites strengths of the first two.

This is a question that is deceptively simple in appearance, but really quite tricky to answer with great certainty. It is tricky partly because, as we will see, criminology is a mixture of different disciplines, differing objects of study and some dispute over where, precisely, its boundaries actually lie and should lie. Importantly, however, the fact that we begin with this question assumes that you are new to this subject. Indeed, that is the underlying assumption. This book is designed as an introduction for students who are studying criminology. I have endeavoured not to make too many assumptions about pre-existing knowledge of the subject and, wherever possible, I will hope to begin from basics and work progressively toward more complex ideas or arguments. Criminology is a strange beast. With origins in applied medico-legal science, psychiatry, a scientifically oriented psychology and in nineteenthcentury social reform movements, for much of the second half of the twentieth century British criminology was dominated by sociology or at least a predominantly sociological approach to criminology. Times are changing again, however, and a new strand of technical and highly policy-oriented ‘scientific’ criminology has been emerging more recently. During the course of this book you will meet all these variants and should learn how to assess their competing claims. In a masterly analysis of the emergence and development of criminology in Britain, David Garland (2002: 8) introduced the subject in the following way: I take criminology to be a specific genre of discourse and inquiry about crime – a genre that has developed in the modern period and thatNewburn's Criminology has established itself as the market leading textbook in the subject for the UK market. Affectionately known by students and instructor as 'the Criminology Bible' (for its size as well as its reputation); it is an accessible and engaging 'one-stop-shop' for a Criminology degree, covering everything topic you will study over three years.

Questions for further discussion Further reading Websites Acknowledgements A great number of people have helped me in the (re)writing of this book. A large number of academic colleagues have commented on individual sections, and have offered advice, feedback and constructive criticism. I thank them all. I have to admit to having engaged in a great deal of procrastination in the months between beginning to think about the third edition and finally delivering the revised chapters and other materials. I am enormously grateful to Tom Sutton, Mike Travers, Peter Lloyd, Liz Dawn and everyone at Routledge for their professionalism and for their patience. Though we are now a good nine years on from when the first edition appeared I would nevertheless like to acknowledge the original publisher, Brian Willan, who helped make the whole thing possible and whose influence on this book remains very visible. In these increasingly neoliberal times in which politicians, managers and assorted bean counters seem hell bent on squeezing every last drop of joy out of working in a university, students are a regular and timely reminder of what it is all about, or should be. I owe a huge debt of gratitude to all my undergraduates and postgraduates for their willingness to continue to behave like students rather than ‘consumers’. Long may they continue to do so. Naturally, my greatest debt is to my family. To the whole extended crew – from my Mum and Cathy in their 80s to Georgia, 3, Freya, 1, and the very imminent ‘baby Laisby’ – I send my love and thanks. The book is dedicated to Mary, without whom . . .
