This remarkable guide to delinquency studies was co-winner of the
1968 C. Wright Mills Award for the best book in the field of social
problems. The work is in effect three books in one: a forthright
account of how to analyze survey data, a penetrating critique of
delinquency research, and a set of original essays on methodology.
It is a landmark work that continues to serve as an essential tool
for those who both study and want to learn about deviance. In the
new introduction, Travis Hirschi describes the setting in which
'Delinquency Research' was written, noting that it exudes a
confident optimism that well-conducted research and analysis will
quickly lead to important advances in the field. Hirschi maintains
that twenty-eight years after 'Delinquency Research' was first
published the validity of its optimistic view has been confirmed by
the fact that the field of criminology is among the leading
producers of high quality research. As a result, we know more about
crime and delinquency than ever before. 'Delinquency Research'
forms the basis for present and future studies of criminology and
is a necessary addition to the libraries of sociologists,
criminologists, scholars in the area of delinquency, and students
interested in research methods.
