Reviews
... an undoubted success - and will, I am certain, stimulate further debate and reflection in moving towards a range of criminological futures. * Alistair Fraser, Asian Criminology *
In response to the question posed in the title, the contributors offer a wide variety of answers, of visions and conceptions of criminology, of ways of doing criminology and of ways of mapping its field of inquiry. * Russell Hogg, British Journal of Criminology *
Over 36 chapters Bosworth and Hoyle's collection provides unsurpassed insight into the rocky, but nonetheless exciting, terrain to be negotiated in being a criminologist. It is essential reading for those already negotiating (and perhaps lost on) that terrain, and must surely become both a comprehensive and challenging resource for the orientation of newcomers. * Alistair Henry, Edinburgh Law Review *
