Reinventing the Wheel: Marx, Durkheim, and Comparative Criminology

By Ni He

Reinventing the Wheel is a timely study that examines Marx's and Durkheim's perspectives on crime and criminals. These two seminal thinkers in economics and sociology wrote extensively on the causes and effects of crime, their implications for society, and the nature of social justice. Ni He provides a detailed analysis of their views and evaluates their applicability for contemporary research in the field of criminology. Theoretically rich and empirically sound, this work will stimulate sociologists, criminologists, and social historians.
