An important classic, familiar to virtually all criminologists,
Clinard and Quinney's Criminal Behavior Systems: A Revised Edition
begins with a discussion of the construction of types of crime and
then formulates and utilizes a useful typology of criminal behavior
systems. It classifies crime into seven categories, among them:
violent personal crime, occasional property crime, public order
crime, occupational crime, corporate crime, organized crime, and
political crime. They examine the criminal career of the offender
in each category, public and legal attitudes toward these
individuals, support systems they may have, attitudes of the
offenders, and other features. The discussion of each category of
crime is thorough and enlightening, and takes the reader far in
understanding the huge problem of crime and establishing
intelligent definitions to study it. The new edition looks at the
criminal landscape of the twenty-first century, capturing both the
numerous advancements in theory and research in the field of
criminology, as well as many societal changes that have taken place
in law, mass media, the economy, culture, and the political system
that directly affect the book's coverage of various types of
crimes. A global perspective broadens the book's relevance to
include a variety of different societies. Crimes newly examined in
this edition include identity theft, domestic violence, arson, hate
crimes, cybercrime, campus sexual assault, police brutality, Ponzi
schemes, human trafficking, and terrorism. Finally, alternatives to
conventional criminal justice are considered, including such
approaches as peacemaking, restorative justice, private justice,
problem solving, harm reduction, naming and shaming, and internal
and external controls. Like its predecessors, Clinard and Quinney's
Criminal Behavior Systems: A Revised Edition will be essential to
criminologists formulating their own theories and research on
criminal behavior as well as to students in criminology and
sociology courses on how to view and study crime.
