A landmark work in criminology, War and Crime presents a rigorous academic examination of the relationship between armed conflict and criminal behaviour. Written by Hermann Mannheim, a distinguished Lecturer in Criminology at the London School of Economics and Political Science, the work argues that war fundamentally reshapes the social and moral fabric of society, with direct consequences for crime rates and criminal justice. Drawing on his expertise in penal reform — previously detailed in The Dilemma of Penal Reform and Social Aspects of Crime in England — Mannheim chronicles the ways in which wartime conditions disrupt legal norms, institutional controls, and individual conduct. Authoritative and analytically precise, this volume remains an essential reference for scholars of criminology, sociology, and twentieth-century social history.
