Prisoners on Criminology

William S. Tregea, a long-time prison teacher, makes prisoners’ stories come alive with eighty prisoner essays integrated in informational chapters tracing shifts in criminality, the U.S. prison build up, and festering inner cities. The chapters review criminological theories through case studies of prisoners’ own insights on their lives at the individual, family, and community levels. Prisoners of Criminology: Convict Life Stories and Crime Prevention provides valuable criminological insights on social structure, social process, alternative criminologies, and in-prison criminological issues for scholars and students alike.
