This book brings to life the major theories of crime and deviance
by presenting detailed profiles that help readers differentiate
each theory and its major propositions by better understanding how,
when, and by whom the theory was formed. Criminology is based on
strong theoretical foundations that attempt to answer the question
of why people commit crime. Criminological theory is especially
complex in that theorists come from a variety of disciplines
including medicine, sociology, psychology, economics, and law.
While not an exhaustive list of each theorist's works, nor an
in-depth review of the empirical work that has been done on each
theory, this text tracks the intellectual development of a theory
by profiling the theorists who are responsible for the major ideas
in criminological thought. By viewing the field in the context of
the social conditions of the time and the personal histories of the
theorists, students can better understand the intellectual history
of each theory and the relationship between criminology and other
fields, to grasp a better appreciation of how the science of crime
and the study of criminals has evolved. All chapters are organized
with a brief overview of the theorist and their significant ideas,
a biographical profile of the theorist, coverage of the theoretical
developments and contributions of the theorist, a list of major
works by the theorist, and a summary detailing the overall legacy
of the theorist in the field. This book is ideal for courses on
criminology, criminological theory, and criminal behavior.
