This text offers a novel contribution to the literature on core
criminological theory by introducing the complex issues relating to
the structuring and analysing of causation. This text traces the
paradigm shift, or drift, that has occurred in the history of
criminology and shows how the problem of causation has been a
leading factor in these theoretical developments. This short book
is the first of its kind and is an introductory text designed to
introduce both seasoned criminologists as well as students of
criminology to the interesting intersections between the fields of
criminology and the philosophy of the social sciences. The problem
of causation is notoriously difficult and has plagued philosophers
and scientists for centuries. Warr highlights the importance of
grappling with this problem and demonstrates how it can lead to
unsuccessful theorising and can prevent students from fully
appreciating the development of thinking in criminology. This
accessible account will prove to be a must-read for scholars of
criminal justice, penology and philosophy of social science.
