The Myth of the ‘Crime Decline’ delves into a critical examination of the purported statistical decline of crime rates observed in several predominantly Western countries over the past two decades. While this trend appears significant, it raises crucial questions that demand careful scrutiny. The reliability of data sources must be interrogated, and the appropriate contextual information must be provided. This book aims to fulfill that purpose.
This book explores the broader socio-economic and politico-cultural backdrop within which this decline in crime is purported to have taken place, shedding light on the evolving nature and complexity of crime and its persistent challenge to precise measurement. By drawing upon original qualitative research and cutting-edge criminological theory, this book presents an alternative perspective on the reality of crime and harm. Through this lens, it seeks to challenge the prevailing discourse on the 'crime decline' and provide a more accurate account of this intriguing contemporary phenomenon. Moreover, by employing a novel theoretical framework developed by the author, this book endeavors to explain the widespread acceptance of the 'crime decline discourse.'
Written in a accessible yet scholarly and informed style, this book is an essential read for academics and students pursuing studies in criminology, sociology, social policy, and the philosophy of social sciences.
