The social history of crime and punishment in America. An encyclopedia. 5 vols.

Publisher:	London : Sage Publications 2012.
Edition/Format:	Book : English
Summary:	Several encyclopedias overview the contemporary system of criminal justice in America, but full understanding of current social problems and contemporary strategies to deal with them can come only with clear appreciation of the historical underpinnings of those problems. This five-volume work surveys the history and philosophy of crime, punishment and criminal justice institutions in America from colonial times to the present. It covers the whole of criminal justice system, from crimes, law enforcement and policing, to courts, corrections and human services. Key themes include: evolving constructions of criminality, changing patterns of crime and criminal activity, police training and the professionalization of law enforcement, courts, biographies, crime statistics across time, organized crime in different periods, changing conceptions of prisons and corrections (punishment versus rehabilitation) and the evolution of penitentiaries.  Read more...
