Trade Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Very light corner rubbing, small pen squiggle to title margin, little wear overall. Text is clean. 'The classical conception of human action, with its emphasis on freedom, rationality and choice, has in recent times found new favour with the rise of monetarist economics. It has also been influential in criminology. . . [In] the late 1960s and early 1970s there was a brief flirtation with classical ideas in a rather different context. The interactionist and 'societal reaction' theorists of that time resurrected the basic classical view of human action. But in this version criminals and deviants were seen as rationally responding to oppressive forces of social definition and reaction and, in the early 'radical' criminology that grew out of it, as being 'free' to fight back against these forces. . . [The author] re-explores that radical impulse, re-examining the foundations, subsequent fate and undeveloped potential of classical ideas. He develops that potential into a 'post-classical' perspective which can help to make sense of many of the findings, and help resolve some of the contradictions, of criminological research into crime and its control.' 146 pages.
