Description

Conservative Criminology serves as an important counterpoint to virtually every other academic text on crime.

Hundreds of books have been written about crime and criminal justice policy from a variety of perspectives, including Marxist, liberal, progressive, feminist, radical, and post-modernist.

To date, however, no book has been written outlining a conservative perspective on crime and criminal justice policy.

Not a polemic against liberalism, Conservative Criminology nonetheless focuses on how liberal ideology affects the study of crime and criminals and the policies that criminologist advocate.

Wright and DeLisi, both senior scholars, give a voice to a major political philosophy—a philosophy often demonized by academics—and to conservatives in the academic world.

In the end, Conservative Criminology calls for an investment in intellectual diversity, a respect for varying political philosophies, and a renewed commitment to honesty in scholarship. The authors encourage debate in the profession about the proper role of ideology in the academy and in public policies on crime and justice.

Conservative Criminology is for the criminal justice professional and student.

It serves as a stimulating supplement to courses in criminology and criminal justice, as well as a primary text for special issues or capstone courses.

This book supports the reader in recognizing ideological biases, whatever they might be, and in considering their own convictions.
