Purchase options and add-ons

This book provides a comprehensive and up-to-date introduction to criminological theory for students taking courses in criminology at both undergraduate and postgraduate level. Building on previous editions, which broadened the debate on criminological theory, this book presents the latest research and theoretical developments.

The text is divided into five parts, the first three of which address ideal type models of criminal behaviour: the rational actor, predestined actor and victimized actor models. Within these, the various criminological theories are located chronologically in the context of one of these different traditions, and the strengths and weaknesses of each theory and model are clearly identified. The fourth part of the book looks closely at more recent attempts to integrate theoretical elements from both within and across models of criminal behaviour, while the fifth part addresses a number of key recent concerns of criminology: postmodernism, cultural criminology, globalization and communitarianism. All major theoretical perspectives are considered, including:

    • classical criminology,

    • biological and psychological positivism,

    • labelling theories,

    • feminist criminology,

    • critical criminology and left realism,

    • social control theories,

    • the risk society.

    The new edition also features comprehensive coverage of recent developments in criminology, including situation action theory, desistance theory, peacemaking criminology, Loïc Wacquant’s thesis of the penal society, critical race theory and Southern theory. This revised and expanded fourth edition of An Introduction to Criminological Theory includes chapter summaries, critical thinking questions, a full glossary of terms and theories and a timeline of criminological theory, making it essential reading for those studying criminology.

      Quite impressed. Covers a lot of topics and provides substantial information for an academic essay. Only browsed so far but very happy. This was recommended by my course tutor and I can see why.

      I've found that quite a few criminologist/social sciences are interested in 'profiling' due to its coverage on TV and such, this book covers it and it's history which is good reading.

      Will update when used in greater depth.
