Description
A Sociology of Crime is a landmark work that explores crime through a unique "grammatical" lens, emphasizing how criminal behavior is shaped by processes of criminalization via the interactional and organizational use of language. In this second edition, Hester expands the theoretical scope, incorporating contemporary themes like gender, race, class, and postcolonialism, alongside the core criminological theories. With detailed case studies, international examples, and a wealth of critical analysis, this book remains an essential text for criminologists and those seeking a deeper understanding of crime's social construction. The addition of questions, exercises, and further readings makes it a valuable resource for students and scholars alike.
