Summary
Annotation This unique collection brings together international contributors from a range of disciplines to explore crime and responses to crime through a religious/faith-based lens. At a time when religion is under the media spotlight in terms of religiously-motivated hate crime, terrorism and child abuse this book provides an important platform for academic debate. It examines these and other key issues including faith as a coping strategy, religion as a motivating factor, and the role of religion and morality in shaping criminal justice responses.
