Challenging Crime:
A Portrait of the Cambridge Institute of Criminology
Editor: Catharine Walston / Advisory Editors: Anthony Bottoms, Manuel Eisner and Friedrich Lösel

Founded by Sir Leon Radzinowicz in 1960, the Institute of Criminology was the first of its kind in the UK and has exerted a strong influence on the development of the discipline. The tradition of competence and leadership continues to the present.

Commissioned to celebrate its fiftieth anniversary, Challenging Crime: A Portrait of the Cambridge Institute of Criminology is a lively overview of the Institute’s history and activities:

• a richly illustrated hardback volume with archive images and specially commissioned photography
• over 35,000 words of text written by expert members of the Institute
