This highly acclaimed criminology text presents an up-to-date
review of rational choice theories, including deterrence, shaming,
and routine activities. It also incorporates current examples of
deterrence research regarding domestic violence, drunk driving, and
capital punishment, and features thought-provoking discussion of
the relativity of crime. The authors explore the crime problem, its
context, and causes of crime. The organization of the text reflects
the fact that the etiology of crime must be at the heart of
criminology. It examines contemporary efforts to redefine crime by
focusing on family violence, hate crimes, white-collar misconduct
with violent consequences, and other forms of human behavior often
neglected by criminologists. Extensive discussion of evolving laws
is included, and while the prevalence of the scientific method in
the field of criminology is highlighted, the impact of ideology on
explanations of crime is the cornerstone of the book.
