Criminal Justice and Penology Philosophy, History, and Historiography Legal Studies and Policies

Abstract

Abstract The American criminal justice system is a product of history. Police, courts, laws, punishment, and corrections and juvenile justice institutions, as well as most forms of crime, have long and strong historical roots; thus, historical research is an important aspect of criminological research. The craft of doing historiography is described as a six‐step process: (1) topic selection, (2) research questions, (3) central themes, (4) data sources, (5) theoretical frameworks, and (6) organization and writing.
