Labeling theory has been an extremely important and influential
development in criminology, but its recent advances have been
largely neglected. This volume aims to reinvigorate labeling theory
by presenting a comprehensive range of its modern applications. In
the first section, Ross Matsueda chronicles the early history of
the theory. Fred Markowitz then reviews labeling theory research as
applied to mental illness. Francis T. Cullen and Cheryl Lero Jonson
discuss the relationship between labeling theory and correctional
rehabilitation. The second section, which is focused on previous
tests of labeling theory, begins with a review of prior empirical
tests by Kelle Barrick. Anthony Petrosino and his colleagues then
summarize their meta-analysis of the impact of the juvenile system
processing on delinquency. Lawrence Sherman then discusses
experiments on criminal sanctions. The final segment on empirical
tests of labeling theory begins with a chapter by Marvin Krohn and
his colleagues on the effects of official intervention on later
offending. The long-term effects of incarceration are then
investigated by Joseph Murray and his colleagues. Finally, Steven
Raphael reviews the effects of conviction and incarceration on
future employment. This landmark book presents the most
comprehensive and up-to-date knowledge about labeling theory, and
illustrates the importance of this theory for policy and practice.
It is the latest volume in Transaction's acclaimed Advances in
Criminological Theory series.
