Criminology has developed strong methodological tools over the
past decades, establishing itself as a competitive and
sophisticated social science. Despite and perhaps because of its
emphasis on matters of design, methodology, and quantitative
analysis, criminology has had few significant advances in theory.
Advances in Criminological Theory is the first publication
exclusively dedicated to the dissemination of original work on
criminological theory. It was created to overcome the neglect of
theory construction and validation in existing criminological
publications, as well as to further the free exchange of ideas,
propositions, and postulates. This first volume of the series meets
this challenge.
