Reviews

This collection includes the most current issues in the history of crime and deviance in Canada. The scope of this book goes beyond traditional studies of the history of crime to include important aspects of deviance, moral regulation and relations of power in Canadian society. It challenges students to consider the historical relationships between criminal justice practices and gender, sexuality, class, and race inequities in Canadian society."" - Paula Maurutto, University of Toronto
