Summary
Professor Sir Anthony Bottoms is unique in British criminology. He has achieved mastery of all the disciplines which rightly require attention if criminological questions are to be adequately addressed, including law, social science, social theory, moral philosophy, and matters of 'administrative criminology': from uses of the fine, to the origins and functions of the probation service. He was, of course, once a probation officer. This is one of the keys to his outstanding contribution to our field. He combines an unusually broad range of intellectual interests, with a steadfast dedication to 'the person' living a troubled life (in a specific place). He has conducted outstanding empirical research in each of these areas, addressing each subject in a way that generates clear and original theoretical and normative analysis. This volume pays tribute to Tony and his work. It is a collection of specially commissioned original essays, organised around his key interests. They are written by friends and colleagues, many of whom are key criminologists in their own right. Each honours Tony's contribution to the field and to his scholarship in the fields of crime, justice, and social order.
