Paul Rock and the Criminology of Law-making: Contingency, Emotions and a Defiance Theory of Victims' Rights

Lawrence W Sherman, Heather Strang

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Chapter

Abstract

This chapter is concerned with Paul Rock's work on the criminology of law-making. It highlights the role of the organizational weapon of victim advocacy organizations, asking whether they are central to the making of laws about victims and whether advocacy or lobbying groups are generally a necessary condition for law-making about crime. It also applies the specific emotional propositions of defiance theory to Rock's work, seeking indications and examples of falsification, modification, or confirmation.
