The Rise of Criminology in its Historical Context
This essay traces the origins and development of criminology from Beccaria up to about 1940, exploring the intimate connection between criminological thought and the contemporary cultural and social climate. In various ways, all pre-criminologists were influenced by the early bourgeois image of man, with free will and character building as its central tenets. Professionalization coincided with a cultural turn that greatly reduced the role of free…

Jonathan Davies, editor. Aspects of Violence in Renaissance Europe
The only meaningful way in which the word Renaissance can be used, in my view, is with reference to a fashion or movement in high culture, in particular the visual arts and literature, that began in Italy and then spread to most of Europe. The only contribution in which Renaissance in this sense and the subject of violence are linked is the chapter by Marina Daiman on the painter Peter Paul Rubens. Among art historians, she assures us, he has alw…

Introduction
Violence in Europe
Violence in Europe
Comprehending Columbine - By Ralph W. Larkin
Punishment, Power, and History
This article reevaluates the work of Michel Foucault and Norbert Elias, in so far as it relates to criminal justice history. After an examination of the content of Foucault’s Surveiller et punir (1975), it discusses Foucault’s receptions among criminal justice historians. Some of the latter appear to have attributed views to the French philosopher that are not backed up by his 1975 study. Notably the “revisionist” historians of prisons have done …
Violence and the civilizing process
Among historians, especially those investigating violence, Norbert Elias ' theory of civilization has received divergent appreciations recently. In the Anglo-Saxon world, notably in North America, it has obtained increasing recognition over the last ten years or so. In particular, many authors agree that he offers the only theoretical framework which easily accomodates the empirical evidence on the long-term decline of homicide. Conversely, in Co…

Four Centuries of Prison History
As I write this chapter in my Amsterdam home, I imagine a group of magistrates only ten minutes' walking distance from here but exactly four hundred years ago debating a project for a new punitive institution. The physician Sebastiaan Egberts, who has just been elected schepen (judge in the town court), comments on a report by Jan Laurensz Spiegel, one of the initiators, who died in 1590. A year before his death the town council agreed to build a…
Institutions of Confinement
A major interdisciplinary study of the development of prisons, hospitals and insane asylums in America and Europe, this book resulted from discussions between its two editors about their work on the history of hospitals, poor relief, deviance, and crime, and a subsequent conference held in 1992 by the German Historical Institute that attempted to assess the impacts of Foucault and Elias. Seventeen contributors from six different countries with ba…

The Prison Experience
The prison occupies a central position in the penal systems of most countries today. Many historians believe that imprisonment did not become a major judicial sanction until the nineteenth century. Pieter Spierenburg corrects this view. First as a disciplinary institution and later as a penal option, the prison has played an important role in European societies from the late sixteenth century to today. Spierenburg traces the evolution of the pris…
