Whether criminologists position themselves in the "left" or "right"
of the field, the reality common to their work involves a
reconsideration of virtually all of our past theoretical journeys
in criminology. This book captures the range of criminological
thinking today, and provides a picture of a dynamic discipline in
transition. Chapters consider contemporary theoretical development
and discussion, focusing on street crime, youth and identity, and
crime and social control in relation to questions of gender, class,
race, learning, and culture. While there is disagreement among the
authors about whether criminologists are developing "new" theory or
circulating "old" theory, their contributions in this reader
demonstrate the emerging plurality in criminological discourse,
revealing continuities and discontinuities between "old" and "new."
