Summary 'Macrocriminology and Freedom is a criminological epic, an expansive and erudite story that sweeps across history and contexts. The book is frightening in showing how cascading events can produce catastrophes from crime to environmental destruction. But in the end, its message is hopeful, identifying pathways--or 'normative rivers'--for guiding freedom from domination and crime. Drawing on his lengthy and distinguished career, John Braithwaite has bestowed an extraordinary gift--a book, like other masterpieces, that will yield special insights each time we take an excursion through its pages.' -- Francis T. Cullen, Distinguished Research Professor Emeritus, University of Cincinnati.
