Hundreds of books have been written about crime and criminal justice policy from a variety of perspectives, including Marxist, liberal, progressive, feminist, radical, and post-modernist. To date, however, no book has been written outlining a conservative perspective on crime and criminal justice policy. Not a polemic against liberalism\u003ci\u003e, Conservative Criminology\u003c\/i\u003e nonetheless focuses on how liberal ideology affects the study of crime and criminals and the policies that criminologist advocate. Wright and DeLisi, both senior scholars, give a voice to a major political philosophy-a philosophy often demonized by academics-and to conservatives in the academic world. In the end, \u003ci\u003eConservative Criminology\u003c\/i\u003e calls for an investment in intellectual diversity, a respect for varying political philosophies, and a renewed commitment to honesty in scholarship.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe authors encourage debate in the profession about the proper role of ideology in the academy and in public policies on crime and justice. \u003ci\u003eConservative Criminology \u003c\/i\u003eis for the criminal justice professional and student. It serves as a stimulating supplement to courses in criminology and criminal justice, as well as a primary text for special issues or capstone courses. This book supports the reader in recognizing ideological biases, whatever they might be, and in considering their own convictions. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John Wright, Matt Delisi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0323357016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780323357012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/20\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 138\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.90h x 6.90w x 0.40d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2016","brand":"John Wright","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43946454188287,"sku":"9780323357012","price":69.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_c3fbf14d-4e74-41bb-ba06-8077cf7cff0a.jpg?v=1681513245","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/conservative-criminology-john-wright-9780323357012","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
