Acknowledgements

I wish to thank Cândido da Agra and Amadeu Recasens I Brunet for supervising the PhD dissertation that made possible the publication of the present book. Their support and theoretical skills were crucial at every step of my research. At the same time, this research would not have been possible without all the scholars who allowed the interviews to take place. I also wish to thank all colleagues and peers, from criminology and other disciplinary fields, who, in conferences and summer schools, reviewing my papers, or just around a coffee table, found the time and energy to discuss, debate, and comment on my research. Their support, questions, suggestions, and insights were of vital importance for improving almost every aspect of this work. Thanks to Majid Yar for his editorial assistance during the preparation of the manuscript. I also wish to thank the Faculty of Law of the University of Porto, as well as the School of Criminology, for the institutional and financial support granted when needed. Thanks are due to
