David Churchill et al., "Historical Criminology" (Routledge, 2021)
Historical Criminology\xa0(Routledge, 2022)\xa0breaks new ground by challenging researchers to question what we do, and why we do it. It draws out what criminologists can learn from historians, and examines the concept of historical criminology not as a sub-discipline, but as a core approach to doing criminology. The book questions the way that we think about\xa0time as a concept\xa0- in the\xa0past, the present and the future - and the way that rethinking time and temporality\xa0can help understand and respond to crime.\xa0In the context of historical criminology, the concept of 'historical thinking' reveals the implicit\xa0values, assumptions and methods of\xa0knowledge production which\xa0are sustained by dominant historical and sociological modes of thinking.\xa0\nThe book is essential reading for criminologists, for students and teachers of theory, concepts and methods in criminology.\nAssociate Professor\xa0David Churchill\xa0researches historical criminology and criminal justice history, focusing on policing, security and crime control in modern Britain\xa0at The University of Leeds.\xa0\nProfessor Henry Yeomans\xa0is\xa0a historical criminologist who specialises in the study of alcohol regulation at The University of Leeds.\nDr Iain Channing\xa0is a Lecturer in Criminology at and Criminal Justice at The University of Plymouth, who specialises in policing in historical and contemporary contexts.\nJane Richards\xa0is a doctoral student at the University of Hong Kong.
