Synopsis

`O'Malley, in this beautifully simple, insightful and erudite book, Locates risk within a veriety of mentalities that lare being deployed to "govern crime'. In doing so he places risk, where it should be, at the very centre of criminological thought and practice. This is an important book,' Professor Clifford Shearing, University of Cape Town

`O'Malley's approach to risk, crime and criminal justic is stimulating and provocative. His highly original "risky criminology" recnnects risk with theory, and challenges those concerned with punishment and crime prevention to develop constructive, imaginative measures, rather than trying to control risk through repression and exclusion.' Professor Barbara Hudson, University of Central Lancashire.

This innovative and accessible book will appeal to Upperf-level undergraduates, postgradutes and scholars in ciminology, criminal justice, and politics.
