Criminology is a dynamic and evolving field of study. In the recent
decades, the study of the causes, development, prevention, and
treatment of juvenile delinquency and adult crime has produced many
important discoveries. This volume address two questions about
crucial topics facing criminology - from causation to prevention to
public policy: Where are we now? What does the future hold? Rolf
Loeber and Brandon C. Welsh lead a team of more than forty top
scholars from across the world to present the future of research,
policy, and practice in the discipline. "Criminology has entered
into a new era in which standard ideas are being revised or
replaced by fresh theoretical and empirical investigations. In The
Future of Criminology, Rolf Loeber and Brandon Welsh capture the
field's dynamic nature by pulling together, under one cover,
diverse ideas of where criminology should head. Written by leading
scholars, the volume's contributions provide lucid and compelling
assessments of how best to think about crime and its control. Every
scholar should keep this book close at hand and consult it
regularly."-Francis T. Cullen, Distinguished Research Professor,
University of Cincinnati "Inspired by David Farrington, one of the
world's foremost scholars of criminology, The Future of Criminology
is designed to be a 'state of the art' collection of essays
delineating criminology's contribution to our understanding of
crime prevention and its control. It succeeds admirably as a
diverse group of leading scholars summarize, integrate, and extend
previous work on child delinquency, criminal careers,
psychopathology, high-risk families and communities, and
experimental criminology. Researchers, policymakers, and students
will benefit greatly from a close study of its chapters." - Joan
Petersilia, Adelbert H. Sweet Professor of Law, Stanford Law School
"This set of contributions, by forty world-renowned criminologists,
constitutes a cutting-edge volume for future generations of
scholars to take the baton from David Farrington."-Gerben Bruinsma,
Director of Netherlands Institute for the Study of Crime and Law
Enforcement, Amsterdam
