The twelve papers in this volume examine how and why inequality affects the patterns of crime and criminal justice. The contributors evaluate the merits of various theoretical ideas, debates, and controversies; document the dynamics of inequality in varied crime settings; examine methodologies used in exploring the crime-inequality relationship; and set forth new research and policy agendas for future work. The first two papers deal with race. Then, three papers consider the relationship between unemployment and crime, the effect of subordinate position on criminal outcomes, and age patterns in delinquency and crime. The next three papers all address gender and crime. The following paper deals with crime and inequality in Eastern Europe. The final three papers take us into the realms of technology, ecology, and philosophy, and are devoted to various strategies deployed to control crime.
