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. This collection
clearly places religion faith at the heart of criminological enquiry and illustrates its
relevance in addressing wider social issues and would be of benefit to students and academics
researching or studying in these areas. It will also be of interest to community and criminal
justice practitioners and those with an interest in community engagement and multi-faith work.
