Publisher Synopsis
"The Criminals of Lima and Their Worlds is an exhaustively researched and pathbreaking historical inquiry. It will, I think, stand as the definitive study on the criminal population and prison experience in Lima for many years to come."-Peter F. Klaren, author of Peru: Society and Nationhood in the Andes "A comprehensive, well-researched, and insightful study, The Criminals of Lima and Their Worlds brings together in a single volume a series of issues that other studies have treated separately: attitudes toward criminals and the sociocultural construction of crime; strategies and quotidian practices of policing; the importation and imperfect adoption of European positivist criminology; prison regimes and the birth of the penitentiary; and the relationship between crime, the courts, and broader questions of political power."-David S. Parker, author of The Idea of the Middle Class: White-Collar Workers and Peruvian Society, 1900-1950 Read more...
