“Crime in 19th Century Wales is one of those rare academic texts which manages to be as interesting and entertaining as it is authoritative and informative . . . Lucidly written, impeccably researched and well presented, the book is to be warmly recommended to anyone seeking to understand and influence the criminal justice system of our own times.” –Probation Journal

Book News from Wales

In the late 1960s a social psychologists highly critical of the laboratory-experimental approach. This text provides an account of the complex body of work that is critical of traditional psychological approaches. Paper edition (unseen), $12.95. Examines how crime was defined and responded to in 19th-century Wales, and queries why, after rising rapidly during the first half of the century, crimes such as theft and assault declined thereafter until 1900. The crime statistics show that Wales had, and still has, a different profile from the rest of the UK. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
