Assessing Key Criminological Ideas presents a uniquely comprehensive, critical look at seven major theories which lie at the core of criminology's explanation of crime and serve as popular platforms for criminological research.
The seven theories in the book include: Routine activity theory, Social disorganization theory, Self-control theory, Social bonds theory, Strain theory, Differential association theory, Labelling Theory.
The book s aim is to encourage critical thinking about these approaches to the explanation of crime by highlighting strengths and weaknesses which affect their applicability in research and our understanding of what causes, and may prevent, offending. The book also highlights central problems in criminological theorizing as a whole, with each chapter discussing how one prominent theory does or does not address these problems, presenting a synthesis of knowledge concerning key issues concerning in the explanation of crime.
Assessing Key Criminological Ideasdraws upon multidisciplinary research to consider alternative interpretations and explanations for common theoretical and empirical observations regarding the causes of crime. Each chapter then applies its unique conclusions to a re-evaluation of implications for past and future research, and policy and prevention practices. The depth and breadth of these chapters, and the fundamental issues highlighted in each, mean it will appeal to criminologists at all levels, from those with an introductory interest in the groundwork and current innovations of the field, to high-ranking scholars who have worked with and even developed the theories discussed and are interested in seeing the field continue to advance.
