Taking as its starting point that individuals not only shape the world but are shaped by it, this book argues that the behaviours of those who offend and victimize others cannot be understood in isolation from the society of which they are a part.

For decades, scholars have disagreed about what kinds of behaviour count as crime. Is it simply a violation of the criminal law? Or is it behaviour that causes serious harm? This examination of crime features contributors who debate the content of crime from various diverse perspectives.
