SYNOPSIS 

This volume addresses important questions of crime, punishment, policing, social control, and law in relation to COVID-19. The pandemic has brought about a wide number of analyses from various viewpoints, but what role has the study of crime, deviance, and social control played? The chapters in this volume are divided over four thematic parts, dealing with pandemic-related issues in relation to violence and crime, media and law, policing, and corrections. The authors tackle a variety of criminological and socio-legal topics from a range of social-science disciplines. Crime and Social Control in Pandemic Times shoudl be a useful resource for those interested in the dynamics of crime and social control at a time of huge global disruption.

This volume is published in the Emerald series, Sociology of Crime, Law and Deviance.
