This book explores the relationship between crime and social policy from both a theoretical and empirical approach. Analyzing various governmental policies, Emma Wincup reflects upon the multiplicity of influences that shape the formulation of crime control policies, the changing nature of government, and the enhanced role of the welfare state in addressing crime. Utilizing a host of policy examples, she offers a thorough look at the close connections—and occasional tensions—between crime reduction and social policy agendas.

“This is a welcome exploration of the linkages and relationships between criminal justice and social policy. Combining critical scholarship with a practical assessment of current policy, it will be of interest both to academics and practitioners.”
