Criminology for Social Work critically reviews the major strands in
criminological theory and research in terms of their implications for
social workers in the criminal justice system. While acknowledging the
complexity of the links to be made, it argues that they are able to
enhance practice by making it more critical and realistic. Individual
chapters discuss criminological psychology, the labelling perspective,
the concentration of crime and victimisation in particular localities,
the contributions of feminist criminology, and the evidence of racism
in criminal justice. They also cover the connections between
criminology and policy. The conclusion suggests how criminology could
be enriched by feminist philosophy and psychology.
