Convict criminology: Inside and Out (New Horizons in Criminology) - Hardcover

"Great read about the Convict Criminology movement. This book demonstrates how intellectual ideas born in a cage now shake the ivory tower." Stephen C. Richards, University of Wisconsin Oshkosh, USA "Earle wittily narrates the journey from convict to convict criminologist with an openness rarely seen in academia, enabling a full appreciation of the contribution to knowledge that can be made by `convicts'." Bill Davies, Leeds Beckett University "A deeply reflective, personal, as well as analytical account, Rod Earle's Convict Criminology makes a valuable contribution to debates about an `insider' perspective in criminology, and its importance to our understanding of the processes of criminal (in)justice." Criminology and Criminal Justice

Foreword by Shadd Maruna, Rutgers University. This is the first single authored book to trace the emergence of Convict Criminology and explore its relevance beyond the USA to the UK and other parts of Europe. It presents uniquely reflexive scholarship combining personal experience with critical perspectives on contemporary penalogy, focussing explicitly on men.
