Criminal Lives: Family Life, Employment, and Offending

ISBN: 9780199217205
Published: 12/04/2007

Criminal Lives: Family Life, Employment, and Offending uses historical data to directly address modern criminological debates. There is currently a huge growth of interest in histories of crime, and intellectual conversations and connections between historians and criminologists are becoming much more frequent. However, a published work which uses historical data to this extent is rare. This book's aim is to draw a wide audience from the worlds of criminology, history, and social policy and engage in a genuinely interdisciplinary debate.

Criminal Lives: Family Life, Employment, and Offending addresses a number of important questions about offenders' persistence in, or desistance from, crime and questions the current theoretical frameworks that are given to explain why some people stop, or slow down, their offending, and why offenders' children become involved in crime.
