"Arguably, the complete package. A very good overview of topics and
additional learning opportunities together with research articles
all in one place. This book is a 'one-stop shop.'" -Stuart Agnew,
University of Suffolk Criminological Theory: A Text/Reader, Third
Edition helps students understand criminological theory, with each
authored section of the text enhanced by empirical research
articles that put theory into context. Key criminological theories
are introduced and followed by articles that show how
criminological theory can be applied to current policies,
challenges, and issues, making it easier for students to connect
theory and application. New to the Third Edition: Updated journal
articles introduce students to important topics, such as media
consumption and support for capital punishment, gender differences
in delinquency, bias and police stops, and the effectiveness of
reintegrative shaming and restorative justice. A new section
dedicated entirely to feminist perspectives introduces students to
feminist models of crime and underscores the importance of
examining research related to female offending. A stronger global
view integrated throughout the book increases students' exposure to
criminological research and theory across nations and continents.
Several of the new readings are written by authors or use samples
from outside the United States, including South Africa, Brazil,
Canada, Korea, and more. New case studies examine offender motives
to help students apply the theories discussed to interesting and
memorable examples. Policy is now integrated into each section,
allowing students to see the practical policy implications of each
theory. Coverage of critical topics has been expanded throughout to
introduce students to important issues, such as the influence of
employment on criminal behavior, the success of school programs in
reducing delinquent behavior, and federal sentencing guidelines in
regard to crack versus powder cocaine. Statistics, graphs, and
tables have all been updated to demonstrate the most recent trends
in criminology.
