Another essential read which provides a great insight into issues surrounding the countrol of crime in a historical and comparative manner. Some excellent chapters from Clive Emsley and Sandra Walklate which further strengthen the appeal of this text and make it value for money. The development of the prison, the police, penal policy and the CJS make this a flexible text which can be applied to many modules across different levels of study within criminology.
