Travis Hirschi challenged many enduring conventions within criminology. His incisive critiques and exchanges with leading theorists managed to generate substantive advances not only for control theory but for the criminological perspective more broadly. This book offers an intellectual history of Hirschi’s contribution to the formative arguments that comprise the modern history of criminology.
This book expands beyond a rendering of Hirschi’s publication record through the inclusion of biographical content. The book draws from original interviews with several scholars with whom he engaged in debate: Ronald Akers (social learning theory), Alfred Blumstein (career criminals), Delbert Elliott (theory integration), David Greenberg (critical theory and the age-crime curve), and Jackson Toby (social control). The book is framed around the paradox of science needing path breakers but often branding messengers as “controversial”. Hirschi showed resolve by advancing our understanding through “creative destruction” and Popperian falsification. His refrain was that knowledge is built not by accumulation and accommodation but by unapologetically erasing bias and weak logic. Despite his frequent professional disagreements, he maintained friendships because his dissent commanded respect.
This book is essential reading for students and scholars interested in exploring the enduring legacy of this key thinker in criminology.
