Rogues, rebels, and reformers

a political history of urban crime and conflict

Edición de la obra Rogues, rebels, and reformers

Studies the effects on public order of reforms in criminal justice systems in four of the world's great cities--London, Stockholm, Sydney, and Calcutta. The results supply dramatic evidence that not only is there no easy solution to the dilemma of crime in our times, but that for modern democratic societies crime may well be one of the inevitable prices we pay for freedom.
