What is meant by crime, crime prevention and crime control?

Who defines the acts which are deemed as criminal? Who devises the sanctions and who acts as agents of social control?This timely and challenging book brings together a group of leading international criminologists from all sides of the political spectrum.

They first examine the formation and implementation of official crime prevention and control policies.

In the second part they look at a range of critical perspectives which explore the definition of crime and discuss proposals for its prevention and control.
