| Crime, Social Control and Human Rights: From Moral Panics to States of Denial, Essays in Honour of Stanley Cohen Subjects: Politics & International Relations; Social Sciences; Criminology and Criminal Justice; Political Philosophy; Sociology & Social Policy; Human Rights; Crime Control; Theories of Crime; Political Sociology; The work of Stanley Cohen over four decades has come to acquire a classical status in the fields of criminology, sociology and human rights. His writing, research, teaching and practical engagement in these fields have been at once rigorously analytical and intellectually inspiring. It amounts to a unique contribution, immensely varied yet with several unifying themes, and it has made, and continues to make, a lasting impact around the world. His work thus has a protean character and scope which transcend time and place. David Downes is Professor Emeritus of Social Administration at the London School of Economics, UK.
