The readings in The Nature and Theory of Crime represent the most influential theories and perspectives in criminology. Each reading demonstrates the complexity of theoretical issues in the field. Students explore the classical, biological, and control perspectives, the influence of neighbourhoods and communities on crime, labelling theories, feminist criminology, and more.
The text teaches readers to understand both the concepts described within numerous theories and the criteria used to evaluate criminological theory. They become familiar with the empirical support related to major theories and the policy and program implications of each theory. Finally, they come to see how the study of criminological theory is related to real-world criminal justice practice. Each reading is framed by an original introduction to provide context and discussion questions to support retention, critical thinking, and classroom engagement.
The second edition features new chapters on biosocial criminology, situational crime prevention, street codes, differential association theory, and self-control, as well as updated information throughout the entire text.
The Nature and Theory of Crime is designed for upper-division undergraduate courses in criminology, criminal justice, and sociology.
