The Handbook of the History and Philosophy of Criminology, 1st Edition, edited by Ruth Ann Triplett, examines the conceptual origins and institutional development of criminology across the world.
The volume addresses the historical emergence of criminological thought, established sociological paradigms, and critical debates within the field. Core theoretical topics include Cesare Beccaria's early writings, positivism, symbolic interactionism, strain paradigms, and biosocial approaches.
Drawing on contributions from scholars across ten countries, the handbook also investigates how criminology evolved as an academic discipline across regions including North America, South America, Europe, East Asia, and Australia, providing an international reference for researchers and students across criminology, the social sciences, and the humanities.
