Synopsis

`Savelsberg is one of the world's finest sociologist of crime and the institutions through which it is constituted and controlled. In this brief but path-breaking study he shows how the tools of criminological analysis can deepen our understanding of the processes that produce genocide and crimes against humanity-and why an engagement with human rights is essential for 21st century criminology.'

`Savelsberg brings a unique perspective and research background to the topic of crime and human rights. Succinct and penetrating. this book is essential reading for scholars and students.'

This text provides a much-needed insight into the subject of human rights violations, and the ways in which society responds to such abuses.

Seminal yet concise, Crime and Human Rights is written for advanced undergraduate students, postgraduates and scholars of crime, crime control and human rights. The book will also appeal across other fields from political science and sociology to development studies, law, and philosophy.
