The Routledge Handbook of Technology, Crime and Justice

'This book brings together a team of world-leading scholars to assess the ever increasing impact of technological development upon crime and justice. Extending their gaze well beyond the digital realm to include mechanical, chemical and biological technologies, these exemplary essays offer invaluable insights into just how significantly technologies are reshaping the contours of criminal activity and its control. This is a hugely important resource for anyone seeking to understand the contemporary contours of global crime.'

Majid Yar, Professor of Criminology, Lancaster University, UK

'This is truly an exceptional book. Technology plays a vital role in shaping how we understand and respond to the problem of crime, and this new collection by McGuire and Holt provides a comprehensive and fascinating account of area often overlooked by criminal justice system scholarship. Highly recommended.'

Benjamin Goold, Professor at the Peter A. Allard School of Law, University of British Columbia, Canada

'Michael McGuire and Thomas Holt have put together an impressive collection of essays on how technological change has transformed crime, crime control and justice. Rich, diverse, and informative, in 39 chapters the Handbook covers a huge range of topics, with contributions from both emerging and distinguished scholars from different disciplines. The volume reflects a genuine desire to cover the field comprehensively, focusing not only on ICT, but also a variety of other technologies such as chemical and biological, DNA and forensics, as well as visual, weapon, transport and nano science. It does so in a way that is both delightfully accessible and theoretically informed.'
