The criminological imagination /
Jock Young.
- Cambridge : Polity, 2011.
- xi, 252 p. ; 23 cm.
This text rejects much of what criminology has become, criticizing the rigid determinism and rampant positivism that dominate the discipline today. It examines what's gone wrong with criminology, drawing on a range of research - from urban ethnography to sexology and criminal victimization studies - to illustrate its failings.
