dc.description.abstractThis book explores the role of religion and faith in understanding crime and responses to crime. Religion and faith have been instrumental in the defining of individuals as deviants and/or criminals, the creation and development of legal systems, providing a rationale for penal philosophies and justifying mistreatment or violence. The range of actors and agencies involved, both with a religious or (as is often the case) an anti-religious agenda make this a complex area to consider, but nevertheless, a vital one when examining issues of crime and criminal justice in postmodern twenty-first century. Religion and matters of faith are still as potent a force in shaping social behaviour and interactions in the contemporary world.en
