Crime, Social Control and Human Rights - From Moral Panics to States of Denial, Essays in Honour of Stanley Cohen (Paperback)

Over four decades, the work of Stanley Cohen has come to acquire a classical status in the fields of criminology, sociology, and human rights. His writing, research, teaching, and practical engagement in these fields have been at once rigorously analytical and intellectually inspiring. It amounts to a unique contribution, immensely varied yet with several unifying themes. It has made, and continues to make, a lasting impact around the world. His work thus has a protean character and scope which transcend time and place. Now in paperback, this festschrift of essays in Stanley Cohen's honor builds on and reflects some of his many-sided contributions. It contains chapters by some of the world's leading thinkers as well as the rising generation of scholars and practitioners whose approach has been shaped in significant respects by Cohen.
