This book explores the role of theory and research in criminology.
Adopting a unique and refreshing approach to criminological theory,
it focuses on the great debates in criminology from its inception
as a field to the present day. It explores the debates that have
motivated criminological thought, that have represented turning
points in theoretical and empirical trajectories, that have offered
mini-paradigm shifts, and that have moved the field forward.
Coverage includes: Classical debates, including the work of
Lombroso, Durkheim, and Sutherland; Sociological vs. psychological
debates in criminology; Control theory and cultural deviance
theory; Criminal career and trait-based theory; Theory testing in
criminology; Critical theories in criminology; Debates on the state
of criminology and criminal justice; Policy issues in criminology.
Each chapter explores several key debates, summarizes key points,
and offers a discussion of the current empirical status. This book
is novel in emphasising the role of debate in criminology and
offering an enlightening synthesis of theorists and their
perspectives. It is essential reading for students taking courses
on criminological theory and teachers of those theories.
