Explores the key contributions to the fields of criminology and
criminal justice from the late 18th century to today- and the
conditions that led to their prominence The development of both
criminology and criminal justice has been characterized by
different theories and ideas that capture academic (and sometimes
political) imaginations and send the discipline veering in entirely
new directions. Why did these ideas catch on? What about them
attracted and held scholars' attention and on occasion caused them
to impact policy considerations? Why do they still have value
today? These are the questions addressed in Key Ideas in
Criminology and Criminal Justice. Key Ideas in Criminology and
Criminal Justice is an innovative, fascinating treatment of some of
the seminal theories in criminology and key policies in criminal
justice, offering a detailed and nuanced picture of these core
ideas. With a fluid, accessible, and lively writing style, this
brief text is organized around major theories, ideas, and movements
that mark a turning point in the field, and concludes with a
discussion of the future of criminology and criminal justice.
Readers will learn about the most salient criminological and
criminal justice research and understand its influence on theory
and policy. They will also understand the surrounding
socio-political conditions from which the ideas sprang and the
style and manner in which they were disseminated, both of which
helped these scholarly contributions become cornerstones in the
fields of criminology and criminal justice.
