Description:The Origins of Criminology: A Reader is a collection of nineteenth-century texts from the key originators of the practice of criminology selected, introduced, and with commentaries by the leading scholar in this area, Nicole Rafter.This book presents criminology as a unique field of study that took root in a context in which urbanization, immigration, and industrialization changed the class structure of Western nations. As relatively homogenous communities became more sharply divided and aware of a bottom-most group, the 'dangerous classes', a new segment of the middle class emerged: professionals involved in the work of social control.
