It requires us to take the performativity turn, consider the role of objects in our analysis and conceptualize all actants (human and non-human) as relational beings. Thus power is not the property of one party, but rather it is an effect of the relationships among actants. This innovative collection provides a series of empirical and theoretical contributions that shows: [ The importance of conceptualizing and analyzing technologies as crucial actants in crime and crime control. [ The many facets of ANT: its various uses, its theoretical blending with other approaches, its methodological implications for the field. [ The fruitfulness of ANT for studying technologies and crime studies: its potential and limitations for understanding the world and revamping crime studies research goals. Students, academics and policy-makers will benefit from reading this collection in order to explore criminology-related topics in a different way.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Routledge","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46931704250519,"sku":"9781472417107","price":13149.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781472417107.webp?v=1771615540","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/actor-network-theory-and-crime-studies-explorations-in-science-and-technology-9781472417107","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
