Moral order is disturbed by criminal events, however traditionally, issues around morality have been neglected by criminologists. Using the moral perspective Boutellier bridges the gap between people’s emotional opinions on crime, and criminologists rationalised answers to questions of crime and security.

People feel confused about the bigger issues of our time such as crime, anti-social behaviour, Islamist radicalism, sexual harassment and populism. Traditionally, issues around morality have been neglected by criminologists. Through theory, case studies and discussion this book sheds a new and topical light on these concerns.

Prof. Hans Boutellier is a leading social scientist in the Netherlands and Professor in Security, Safety and Resilience at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam. His previous publications include “The Secular Experiment” (2015); “The Improvising Society” (2011); “The Safety Utopia” (2002); and “Crime and Morality” (1993)
