Taylor 486 Index 501 Preface This has been a mammoth enterprise and I am grateful to the contributors for making it feasible with their support, good spirit, and responsiveness to my editing. Considering they are a distinguished bunch, and therefore very busy, their commitment and patience reflect the altruism for which academics rarely get credit. Of course, some were not able to join us, in fact a whole contingent who were to write on ethnicity, but this Companion intends to be around for a while so there will be future opportunities for growth. Sadly, Rosa del Olmo and Sue Lees died during the early stages of the book and we miss their respective contributions on Latin America and the delinquency of girls. A project like this is a labor of love, so I am grateful to Susan Rabinowitz at Blackwell USA for inviting me to pull the collection together, my old friend Bill Chambliss for assistance with US matters, my wife, Pat, for her constant encouragement, and, especially, Ken Provencher, BlackwelPs manager for this project, for his unfailing understanding and good cheer. The shape of this collection of essays reflects some choices. Criminology is far too vast to be compressed, however selectively, into one volume. From the outset, I have aimed primarily at high quality and a cutting edge with a global standpoint. The most fundamental feature of the volume is an international range of expert contributors, around a base of essays from North America, who tackle their subject matter from a global perspective, either in the sense of reviewing their fields or locating crime issues within international debates and historical parameters. My intention was not to be comprehensive but to deliver a volume that would stimulate development within criminology across the globe. The book therefore contains predominantly sociological criminology, to reflect contemporary thinking and current key issues. For the same reasons, it also combines established authorities in the field with some outstanding younger scholars. I have attempted to edit the volume actively to provide a collection that would, for several years to come, serve undergraduates everywhere
