| Özet: | This article, prepared as a tribute to H.A. Diederiks, sketches a panorama of the research and writing of the history of crime in Europe since the 1960s. It begins by tackling the historiographical roots of this new area before moving on to discuss the kinds of sources which have been used and the ways in which they have been exploited. The principal results of thirty years of research into the profile of crime and criminals, of penal repression and the maintenance of order are traced.. Finally, a comparative reading of the contribution of the history of crime and criminal justice to social history, and of social history to the history of crime and justice urges a closer integration of penal history with social history. |
