A substantive guide to state of the art research and theory, the
International Handbook of Criminology completes an esteemed trilogy
of comparative analyses and insight from worldwide experts.
Exploring a phenomenon that penetrates cultures of all racial,
ethnic, and social classes, this volume continues in the tradition
of its predecessors in the series by updating research on
longstanding issues and offering perspectives into new problems and
trends.
Topics in this volume include:
- the etiology of crime
- historical antecedents of contemporary responses to crime
- life course criminology
- the basis for comparative research in criminal justice
- sources and strategies for knowledge acquisition in
criminology
- specific forms of crime and criminal behavior, including
environmental, sex-related, and financial
- responses to crime, including technological, societal, and
policy-related
- crime issues related to social divisions.
Assembling the works of leading criminologists in Europe, the
Americas, the Pacific, the Mediterranean, and Australasia, this
volume reflects the need for a re-evaluation of the field of
criminology in response to the changing theoretical framework that
has occurred in recent years. In doing so, it further elevates the
level of discourse and sets the stage for innovative research
projects and solutions.
Those wishing to continue their studies should consult the
International Handbook of Victimology and the International
Handbook of Penology and Criminal Justice, which complete the
trilogy.
