The New Criminology: An Essay (1904)

""The New Criminology: An Essay"" is a book written by Frederick Howard Wines and originally published in 1904. In this work, Wines explores the emerging field of criminology, which was becoming increasingly important in the early 20th century as society grappled with rising crime rates and the need for effective methods of prevention and punishment. Wines argues that traditional methods of dealing with crime, such as punishment and imprisonment, were inadequate and often counterproductive. Instead, he advocates for a more scientific approach to criminology, one that takes into account the social, economic, and psychological factors that contribute to criminal behavior. Throughout the book, Wines draws on examples from history and contemporary society to illustrate his points, and he offers several proposals for how criminology can be reformed and improved. He also discusses the role of the state in preventing crime and rehabilitating offenders, and he examines the ethical implications of various approaches to criminology.Overall, ""The New Criminology: An Essay"" is a thought-provoking and insightful work that offers a unique perspective on the field of criminology and its potential to shape society's response to crime.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
