classical and rational choice, biological and psychological,
ecology, strain and subcultural, social learning and differential
association, neutralization and social control, labeling and social
constructionist, and Marxist and critical theory.
"The Criminology Theory Reader" also contains cutting-edge
thinking on feminist theory, postmodernist, constitutive, and
integrated approaches. The overview essay and helpful section
introductions guide students through the core debates. The
following respected theorists are among the contributing authors:
Beirne, Clarke, Stark, Bursik, Felson, Akers, Laub, Agnew, Simpson,
Chambliss, Melossi, Feeley, Friedrichs, Thornberry, Hirschi,
Yeager, Bernard, and Rafter.
