...the book is a distinct and valuable contribution to both substantive criminal law theory and to the burgeoning field of security studies... Jonathan Simon Criminal Law and Philosophy Volume 6, 2012 This work would be of interest to scholars in the United States in the cross cultural study of law and the development of law. It would also be of interest to those who are interested in the development of criminal law, the theory of criminal law, criminology and the sociology of law...the work leaves the reader with plenty of food for thought and significant ideas as to the roots of criminal law and changes in the nature of criminal law.
