Described by the learned editor of this new Routledge collection as
'both a subfield and a fundamental approach to criminological
inquiry', theoretical criminology is concerned with debates about
foundational analytical concepts: what is crime? What is
punishment? It also seeks to explain outcomes: what causes crime?
What is the effect of punishment? What makes a criminal? As
theoretical criminology continues rapidly to develop, this new
four-volume 'mini library' meets the need for an authoritative
reference work to make sense of the major works that have
contributed to its growth. The gathered pieces-assembled by a
distinguished scholar from the University of Oxford's Centre for
Criminology-explore the nature of 'theory' and 'explanation' within
criminology, and the sometimes fraught relationship between the
two. Moreover, the collection maps the chronological development of
criminology theory to provide a clear sense of its evolution, as
well as to enable users to understand and explore the links between
criminological analysis and general social, political, and cultural
theory. The fully indexed collection is also supplemented by the
editor's new introduction which provides a critical overview and
analysis, and places the collected materials in their historical
and intellectual context. Indeed, for researchers and students,
Theoretical Criminology is an essential one-stop research and
pedagogic resource.
