First published in 1973, it marked a watershed moment in the development of critical criminological theory and is as relevant today as it was forty years ago. It was one of the first texts to bridge the gap between criminological and sociological theory and demonstrated the weaknesses of classical and positivist criminology. Critics at the time saw it as the first truly comprehensive critique of Anglo-American studies of crime and deviance. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eReproduced unabridged, the fortieth anniversary edition includes a brand new introductory essay from Jock Young placing the book in its intellectual context and sequence and looking at the theories which built up to it and the theories that have been built upon since. It is essential reading for all serious students engaged in criminological theory and is destined to inspire future generations.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ian Taylor, Paul Walton, Jock Young\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 041585587X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415855877\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/20\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 342\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.50w x 1.00d","brand":"Ian Taylor","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44055896817919,"sku":"9780415855877","price":68.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6e9df73c-1045-4828-bbc4-3848ac68e68e.jpg?v=1685038414","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-new-criminology-ian-taylor-9780415855877","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
