The past few decades of criminology have been an age of integration. The totalizing methodological disputes of the twentieth century (waged among biological, psychological, and sociological theories of crime) have been set aside in favor of a more holistic view of criminological theories as various tools in the toolkit of understanding and preventing crime. This book argues that the next phase of integration in criminology will be – or could be – with the humanities. The movement is already underway with the (re)turn to qualitative, philosophical, rational analysis in the neoclassical school, in venues like the Journal of Qualitative Criminal Justice & Criminology, in calls to bring the liberal arts into “Introduction to Criminal Justice” courses, and in the emergence of unorthodox (non-scientific, non-academic, non-argumentative) approaches to criminology such as “cultural criminology,” “popular criminology,” and “public criminology.” By considering these recent innovations in light of the literary and philosophical pre-history of criminology, this book maps out the role of the Humanities in both the past and the future of criminology.
