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 research design, methodology, and quantitative
analysis, criminology has had few significant advances in theory.
This is the first publication exclusively dedicated to the
dissemination of original work on criminological theory. It
encourages theory construction and validation in existing
criminological publications, as well as furthering the free
exchange of ideas, propositions, and postulates. This volume is
dedicated to a pioneer in criminology, Donald Cressey, and is
especially noteworthy for its comparative and international
dimension.
