How do democratic values and institutions impact upon crime and justice? With civic values promoted in rehabilitation programmes, civil society emphasised by the government as a crime prevention strategy, and the democratic accountability of policing often at the forefront of the political agenda, an understanding of democracy can illuminate key issues in criminology and criminal justice in new and thought-provoking ways. Providing a systematic and accessible analysis of the the relationship between our democratic values and how crime and justice is played out in both national and international arenas, Susanne Karstedt forges new interdisciplinary links between political science and criminology. The book opens new debates in a plethora of areas from terrorism, violent crime, and corruption, to citizenship, the death penalty and punitiveness. Written for advanced students in criminology, politics, international relations and sociology, this is a compelling text on an growing area of criminological study.
