Travis Hirschi is one of the most cited criminologists of the
twentieth century. His work has provoked controversy and heated
debates about the causes of crime, proper research methods, and the
most effective policies to prevent and control crime. Known as a
spokesperson for social control theory, Hirschi always ties his
ideas to the mode of investigation and the mode of investigation to
substantive concerns. Theoretical contributions and research
methodology have been twin driving forces throughout his career.
This book contains representative selections of Hirshi's work over
many years. It is remarkable how little is known about Hirschi's
life and career. John H. Laub's introduction combines a discerning
account of Hirschi's life and work, accompanied by an interview
with the author. Laub's volume covers various topics:
methodological issues; principles of casual analysis; criteria of
causality; longitudinal research on crime; rules and the study of
deviant behavior; correlations between crime and delinquency;
control theory of delinquency; intelligence, causes, and prevention
of delinquency; family structure and crime; theory of crime; crime
and criminality; deviance; white collar crime; and juvenile justice
systems. Now available in paperback, this is an invaluable text for
courses in criminology, as well as a valuable addition to
professional libraries.
