FORMAT Paperback CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Originally published in 1940. This ground-breaking work formed the foundation for modern criminology becoming an academic discipline within UK sociological studies. It concerns the history of crime, its causes and treatment in England during the preceding twenty-five years or so. Mannheim, through this and later studies, went on to found the criminology department at LSE.The book offers an evaluation of the criminological implications of the War and early post-War period as well as an examination of the practical working of the new penal machinery built up by the Reform Acts passed just prior to the War. The author produced a scientific account of the post-War state of crime, beginning with a critical examination of the structure and interpretation of English Criminal Statistics followed by a survey of the principal criminological features of the period between the two Wars. Significant aspects are dealt with in a separate chapters - four devoted to problems of work and leisure (Unemployment and Strikes, Business Administration, Alcoholism, and Gambling), four others to those of certain specific sections of the population (Juvenile Delinquency, Female Delinquency and Prostitution, Recidivism).This is a fascinating read for both the historian and the criminologist. Author Biography Hermann Mannheim was an internationally leading criminologist and Professor at the London School of Economics. He was the first Reader in Criminology in the country and went on to co-found the British Journal of Criminology. He was Chairman of the British Society of Criminology and also heavily involved in penal reform through various committees. Table of Contents Preface 1.
