Little did I expect in 1964 that Delinquency and Drift would remain an important work more than half a century later. It is heartening that the ideas expressed continue to have relevance for today's study of crime and delinquency. I enjoyed reading the volume, and I hope others will as well. -David Matza, Professor Emeritus, University of California, Berkeley For those unfamiliar with David Matza's work, this thoughtful collection serves as an essential introduction. For those who know his work-or think they do-it serves as a reminder of how important Matza's contribution has been. This is a timely and welcome exploration of the work of one of the most enduring criminologists of our time. -Elliot Currie, Professor, University of California, Irvine The aptly titled volume Delinquency and Drift Revisited: The Criminology of David Matza and Beyond is a remarkable tribute to the importance of the work of David Matza to both the development and future of the conceptualization of deviance and crime. While many festschrifts glorify the past and emphasize the contributions of a scholar's work to the present, the essays in this volume provide a framework for innovative future research in diverse areas based on Matza's insights.-Marvin Krohn, Professor, University of Florida
