Facts, Frameworks, and Forecasts calls for rethinking the
development of criminological theory. In her introduction, Joan
McCord argues that the field is ready for new approaches and that
its progress depends on a sound factual base. Examining the
discipline's research design, methodology, and quantitative
analysis efforts, the contributors identify significant advances in
criminological theory. This empirical orientation results in a
balanced blend of information and speculation.This book contains a
comprehensive review. The first chapter describes biological
conditions that have theoretical links with criminal behavior -
ending with a discussion of how biological and social conditions
may interact to influence criminal behavior. Early chapters discuss
general issues related to crime. These are followed by expositions
of theoretical orientations not typically found in criminological
literature. The second half of the book describes seven
longitudinal studies in four countries. The authors interpret their
data to expose biological, social, and psychological factors they
believe may influence criminal behavior.These contributors include:
Guenther Knoblich and Roy King, Daniel Glaser, Robert A. Rosellini
and Robin L. Lashley, Robert J. Sampson, Ellen S. Cohn and Susan O.
White, Joan McCord, L. Rowell Huesmann and Leonard D. Eron, Robert
Cairns and Beverly Cairns, Richard E. Tremblay, Patricia Cohen and
Judith S. Brook, David P. Farrington and David Magnussen, Britt af
Klinteberg, and Hakan Stattin.Facts, Frameworks, and Forecasts
addresses the observation of noted criminologist Marvin Wolfgang
that criminological theory had stagnated. This groundbreaking work,
available in paperback for the first time, is as relevant now as
when first published. It should be read by all concerned with
data-related approaches to criminology.
