This comprehensive book sets an agenda for the development of historical approaches to criminology, delving into its definition, strengths, limitations, and potential to enhance, revise, and fundamentally challenge dominant modes of thinking about crime and social responses to it. It raises crucial questions such as:
What is historical criminology? What does thinking historically about crime and justice entail?
How is historical criminology currently practised? What are the advantages and disadvantages of different approaches to historical criminology?
How can historical criminology reshape understandings of crime and social responses to crime?
How does thinking historically bear upon major theoretical, conceptual, and methodological questions in criminological research?
What does thinking historically have to offer criminological scholarship more broadly, and the uses of criminology in the public realm?
In this book, Churchill, Yeomans, and Channing place historical thinking at the core of historical criminology, highlighting the value of historical research for criminology and arguing that criminologists across the field can greatly benefit from engaging in historical thinking on a more regular and sustained basis. This book is a must-read for all criminologists, as well as students taking courses on theories, concepts, and methods in criminology.
