Living Criminologically with Naked Emperors

Indiana University at Bloomington

The author reviews the course of his criminological research, which began with the study of how police decide whether to record offenses. His research on crime measurement has ultimately led him to give up trying to measure trends in crime and criminality. In its place, he proposes a paradigm in which criminologists study how to democratize participation in social life, arguing that this is a more valid way to measure progress toward control of crime and personal violence.
