"Crime and Justice at the Millennium: Essays by and in Honor of Marvin E. Wolfgang" by Freda Adler, Robert A. Silverman, Terence P. Thornberry, Bernard Cohen, Barry Krisberg
Kluwer AP, Springer Science+Business Media | 2002 | ISBN: 0792375920 9781441949301 9781475748833 9780792375920 | 416 pages | PDF | 10 MB

The major theme of this Festschrift will be state-of-the-art criminology at the millennium and its impact into the 21st century. The editors have solicited major figures in contemporary criminology to elucidate the current state and future prospects of criminology at the turn of the century.

It is appropriate that such a volume be produced in honor of Marvin E. Wolfgang, the most influential criminologist in the English-speaking world. Those invited to contribute were students or colleagues of Professor Wolfgang and are themselves distinguished criminologists. They represent criminology both of the past and the future.
The appeal of the current book is not that it honors Marvin Wolfgang, but rather that it provides an accounting of where the discipline of criminology currently stands and its future directions.
