About this book
This collection clearly places religion/faith at the heart of criminological enquiry and illustrates its relevance in addressing wider social issues and would be of benefit to students and academics researching or studying in these areas. It will also be of interest to community and criminal justice practitioners and those with an interest in community engagement and multi-faith work.
Reviews
“Few texts have explored the relationship between religion, faith and crime in any depth, and fewer still have provided theoretical, historical and empirical analyses to bring to life the nuances of this relationship. This is a timely collection and one which will be welcomed by many criminologists and criminal justice professionals.” (Neil Chakraborti, Director, The Leicester Centre for Hate Studies, UK)
“Britain may well be a broadly secular society but the legacy of our religious past pervades many of our criminal laws and the moral assumptions underpinning the operation of criminal justice. Religion, in fact, has not gone away: different forms of faith andreligious belief drive both fearful violence and - less visibly - profound efforts at peacemaking and redemption. Crime and punishment is always something that theologians should always reckon with, and criminologists should not ignore the links between faith and agency. This timely book reopens and illuminates a neglected debate and is all the more welcome for that.” (Mike Nellis, Emeritus Professor of Criminal and Community Justice, University of Strathclyde, UK)Editors and Affiliations
