Values In Criminology And Community Justice

The stated values of criminologists, policy makers, and researchers don't always correspond with their responses to crime. This collection parses the many different ?ides?these professionals take on issues relating to victims and offenders, punishment and protection, and rights and responsibilities. Drawing on empirical research, crime theory, and criminal justice practice, the contributors explore such topics as the dynamics of race, gender, and age; the workings of the criminal justice system; the ethics of research; and current debates about new criminological issues such as the green movement and Islamophobia.
