The contributions in this volume highlight the value of
sociological theorizing in various strands of criminological
research. The chapters present concrete analyses and discussions of
how sociological theory has been useful to the respective
authors??? efforts in criminological research. Collectively they
aim to show that some of the very best criminological work is
informed in useful and varied ways by sociological theory.
Revealing the global reach and nationally distinct variations in
the practice of sociological theory and criminology, this volume is
explicitly trans-Atlantic in terms of its contributors and the
topics and theories they discuss.
This book offers ten informative chapters as well as two
commentaries, written by some of the leading practitioners of
criminological theory and research today. Among the theoretical
traditions discussed in this book are a range of perspectives,
including macro and micro models as well as theories of criminal
behavior and perspectives of social control. The empirical aspects
of crime and criminal justice to which these theories are applied
are likewise varied and, importantly, drawn from concrete
socio-historical settings in multiple nations. The chapters reveal
the breadth and depth of criminological sociology in its explicit
and informed reliance on insights from sociological theory.
