Philosophical Criminology

Philosophical criminology asks big questions about how we get on with one another and what happens when we do not. This accessible book in the New Horizons in Criminology series is the first to foreground this growing area. The book is structured around six philosophical ideas concerning our relations with others: values, morality, aesthetics, order, rules and respect. Building on the author’s theoretical and empirical research, the book considers the boundaries of criminology and the scope for greater exchange between criminology and philosophy. The book is illustrated using examples from a range of countries, and provides a platform for engaging with important topical issues using philosophical and theoretical insights.

Professor Andrew Millie's work is interdisciplinary and draws on criminology, philosophy and theology. His most recent book for Bristol University Press is "Criminology and Public Theology" (2020). Other titles include "Philosophical Criminology" (2016) and "Securing Respect" (2009). Andrew is Professor of Criminology at Edge Hill University in the UK, and is editor of the Bristol University Press book series "New Horizons in Criminology".
