Description
Inventing Criminology: Essays on the Rise of 'Homo Criminalis' by Piers Beirne offers a fresh perspective on the intellectual history of criminology. This carefully researched work explores the development of positivist methodologies and their influence on early classical European concepts of criminality.
Beirne examines key texts such as Cesare Beccaria's Dei delitti e delle pene and Charles Goring's The English Convict, providing insightful analysis of the intellectual and social histories behind important criminology movements. A valuable addition to our understanding of the subject, this book is a thought-provoking exploration of the evolution of criminological thought.
