Using a fresh approach, this Oxford Handbook offers a comprehensive examination of crimes as public policy subjects to provide an authoritative overview of current knowledge about the nature, scale, and effects of diverse forms of criminal behavior and of efforts to prevent and control them. Michael Tonry, a leading authority on criminology, has brought together twenty-four of the most distinguished active scholars in the field to present a wide-ranging overview and analysis of violent crimes, property crimes, crimes against morality, transactional crimes, and transnational crimes. Straightforward and accessible, individual chapters cover traditional topics such as firearms violence, financial crimes, and organized crime as well as emerging subjects like terrorism, crimes against humanity, and internet child pornography.

Michael Tonry is Sonosky Professor of Law and Public Policy at the University of Minnesota Law School, and Senior Fellow at the Netherlands Institute for the Study of Crime and Law Enforcement, Free University Amsterdam, and visiting professor at the University of Lausanne, Switzerland. He is the author or editor of more than 40 books, including Why Punish? How Much? (OUP 2011) and The Handbook of Crime and Punishment (OUP 1998).
