This book critically explores the development of radical criminology through a range of written Ancient Greek works including epic and lyrical poetry, drama and philosophy, across different chapters. It traces the development of political power and the concepts of law, legitimacy, crime, justice and deviance in the Ancient Greek world and the political struggles that propelled that development, using the conflict perspective as a conceptual tool of the sociological analysis of reality. Theoretical discussions of crime and justice typically stem from the better known works of Plato or Aristotle although this book explores the works preceding these. This book will appeal to those interested in the (pre)history of criminology and the historical production of criminological knowledge.

This book critically explores the development of radical criminological thought through the social, political and cultural history of three periods in Ancient Greece: the Classical, the Hellenistic and the Greco-Roman periods. It follows on from the previous volume which examined concepts of law, legitimacy, crime, justice and deviance through a range of Ancient Greek works including epic and lyrical poetry, drama and philosophy, across different chapters. This book examines the three centuries that followed which were very important for the history of radical thinking about crime and law. It explores the socio-political struggles and how ruptures produced breaks in knowledge production and developed the field of deviance and social control. It also examines the key literature, religions and philosophers of each period. The gap between social consensus and social conflict deepened during this time and influenced the theoretical discourse on crime. These elements continue to exist in the theoretical quests of the modern age of criminology. This book examines the links between the origins of radical criminology and its future. It speaks to those interested in the (pre)history of criminology and the historical production of criminological knowledge.

“In this important contribution, Stratos Georgoulas offers a comprehensive and in-depth exploration of the origins of critical criminology. Rarely do traditional textbooks cover this material in enough depth for readers to truly understand the historical developments of criminology. Georgoulas conveys his innovative review in a fascinating way that takes the reader into new realms rarely visited in criminology. Students and scholars alike will gain invaluable insights and engage with the rich history presented here.” — Chad Posick, Associate Professor of Criminal Justice & Criminology, Georgia Southern University, USA “The Origins of Radical Criminology is a major work. In its three volumes published so far, Stratos Georgoulas conducts a genealogical tour de force against the criminological hegemony that shapes our worldview; a truly critical exercise that, by definition, can only achieve its goal from a radical approach. And so it does, to remind us that the history of resistance is as long and diverse as the history of the powers they must confront, and that the fight goes on.” — Daniel Jiménez-Franco, Coordinator of the European Group for the Study of Deviance & Social Control, Universidad de Zaragoza, Spain This book critically explores the development of radical criminological thought through the social, political and cultural history of the Middle Ages to the Renaissance. It follows on from the previous volume which examined Classical Greece until the emergence of the early Christian movement in the Roman empire. Through separate chapters, it discusses the key literature (myths, fairy tales and Shakespeare), religions and philosophers of the era, and the development of early radical views and issues over time. This book examines the links between the origins of radical criminology and its future. It speaks to those interested in the (pre)history of criminology and the historical production of criminological knowledge, drawing on Criminology, Sociology, Classics, History, Philosophy, Ancient Literature and Politics. Stratos Georgoulas is Professor and Deputy Head of the Department of Sociology at the University of the Aegean, Greece. He is recognized in the scientific field of Critical Criminology, winning international awards for teaching in the USA (Fulbright), Canada, Slovakia, Syria, Jordan and Palestine.
