-[F]ills a gaping hole in the literature of criminology... [T]he
articles selected by Geis are drawn from a variety of sources (law
journals, sociological journals, popular magazines) and since they
are written by people who have disparate frames of reference, the
editorial introductions are crucial for maximum understanding. Geis
performs this task well.- --Robert Sherwin, American Sociological
Review -The editor's Introduction and prefaces to sections are of
unusually high quality. The reader is oriented to crucial topics:
the historical periods of sociology as a vehicle for social
criticism; inter-relationships between sociologists and legal
scholars; concern over the moral state of society; rationalizations
(in the sense of excuses offered) of crime advanced by offenders;
and causal explanations of crime.- --Elmer H. Johnson, Social
Forces
