Discovering Criminology: From W. Byron Groves

By W. Byron Groves

This rare book brings together the writings of Casey Byron Groves, possibly the most brilliant criminologist in America during the 1990s. Killed in a car accident at the height of his career, his students, teachers and friends worked to produce this book to preserve some of his best pieces and others that were unpublished. Casey's approach was unique, unorthodox for the 1990s, and quite frankly, 'in your face." From "organizational perversion" to "punishing the privileged", the topics he covered were diverse, and the scholars on whose shoulders he stood were equally diverse, from Habermas and Hegel to van den Haag and Herrnstein, they're all there, and all put to work in Casey's captivating style. Only 200 copies of this book were ever printed. It's rare. This new paperback edition adds to the popular Kindle version, making it accessible to students and others who would like to own an affordable paperback copy for old times sake. Written in the 1990s, Groves's ideas are timeless. See for yourself.
