Descriere
The material gathered in this volume spans David Downes's career starting with his early and original contributions to the comparative study of anomie and subcultural theory and to social policy on education and employment. His research on gambling and the state of criminological theory is represented as is his research on the politics of crime control, as well as his later work on criminal justice and penal policy, which broke new ground in detailed, cross-national, comparative analysis, particularly in relation to England and the Netherlands.
