This advanced text critically examines how emerging human rights theories intersect with the criminal justice system.

Focusing on the complexities of intentional action and responsibility, this book challenges traditional views of groups in criminology, emphasizing the nuanced nature of group dynamics. It critiques the simplistic understanding of group membership and explores the transient nature of many associations. By distinguishing between "criminal" groups with loose connections and strong intent versus criminogenic groups with strong ties and weak intent, it raises critical implications for joint criminal enterprise and gang-related charges. This timely analysis is valuable for academics, legal professionals, and social workers.

The book presents a compelling argument for integrating Marxist, feminist, and radical viewpoints into the study of crime, control, and justice. It serves as a critical resource for students and educators in criminology, challenging conventional notions of law and criminal justice. By deconstructing established categories, it emphasizes the significance of political philosophy in understanding contemporary issues in the field.

2012 Reprint of Original 1894 Edition. Exact facsimile of the original edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. Many have come to discover the writings of William Law through the publication of selections of his work edited by Andrew Murray. "A Serious Call to a Devout and Holy Life" (1728) deeply influenced the chief actors in the great Evangelical revival. John and Charles Wesley, George Whitefield, Henry Venn, Thomas Scott, and Thomas Adam all express their deep obligation to the author. "The Serious Call" also affected others deeply. Samuel Johnson, ] Gibbon, Lord Lyttelton and Bishop Home all spoke enthusiastically of its merits; and it is still the only work by which its author is popularly known. It has high merits of style, being lucid and pointed to a degree. Though not the most popular, perhaps the most interesting, original and suggestive of all Law's works are those he wrote in his later years, after he had become an enthusiastic admirer of Jacob Boehme, the Teutonic theosopher. From his earliest years, he had been deeply impressed with the piety, beauty and thoughtfulness of the writings of the Christian mystics. However, it was not till after his accidental meeting with the works of Boehme, about 1734, that pronounced mysticism appeared in his works.
