It examines long-standing and emerging traditions in history writing, with separate chapters on legal and scientific approaches, as well as on urban, Marxist, gender and empire history. Each chapter then explores these historical approaches in relation to crime, paying particular attention to the relationship between theory and the interpretation of evidence.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRather than a timeline for the historical appearance of ideas about crime or a catalogue of the range of topics that comprise the subject matter, \u003ci\u003eWriting the History of Crime\u003c\/i\u003e reveals the ideas behind crime as a subject of historical investigation; it looks at how these ideas generate questions that may be asked about the past and the way in which these questions are answered.
