Abstract

'The Politics of Crime and Conflict is a significant contribution to the comparative study of criminal justice. Its strengths lie in the authors' rigorous scholarly analysis and attention to detail; the utility of the conceptual framework as an ordering device for the case studies; the often fresh and insightful conclusions the authors draw from their analysis of the diverse body of data they present; and the valuable heuristic contribution of Prof. Gurr's theoretical model of urban disorder. Finally, the study is well-written and remarkably free from jargon...' -- Policy Studies Journal, Vol 6 No 3, Spring 1978 '...one can only praise and applaud these authors' efforts to raise the study of urban crime and repression from particularism to cross-national, theory-directed research.' -- The American Historical Review, December 1977
