Writing the History of Crime investigates the development of historical writing on the subject of crime and its wider place in social and cultural history. It examines long-standing and emerging traditions in history writing, with separate chapters on legal and scientific approaches, as well as on urban, Marxist, gender and empire history. Each chapter then explores these historical approaches in relation to crime, paying particular attention to the relationship between theory and the interpretation of evidence.Rather than a timeline for the historical appearance of ideas about crime or a catalogue of the range of topics that comprise the subject matter, Writing the History of Crime reveals the ideas behind crime as a subject of historical investigation; it looks at how these ideas generate questions that may be asked about the past and the way in which these questions are answered. This is a crucial analysis for anyone interested in the history of crime, the historiography of social history or the art of history writing more broadly.

The evaluation, breadth, depth and chronology of subject matter and integration of commentators’ perspectives (past and present) is astounding ... The embedded knowledge and cognition displayed here is humbling and could only have been produced by someone who is most genuinely and assuredly not just a crime history specialist but an ‘expert crime history expert’; Knepper therefore more than deserves his place amongst the literary greats and academics he references ... The book is an outstanding compendium of the history of crime and the criminal justice process ... [It] is therefore the 'go to' book and 'must read' for not only those starting out on their journey to study and research the history of crime, but for all of us interested and engaged in this work.
