Beschreibung
Bringing order and insight to a vast field that is constantly evolving, this handbook provides up-to-date, in-depth summaries of the most important theories in criminology, from classic deterrence theory and social disorganization to modern labeling theory and integrated theory. These original essays are clearly and accessibly written by top scholars in the field as well as up-and-coming researchers. For each theory, the handbook describes origins and assumptions, assesses current debates and research, points out knowledge gaps, offers directions for future research, and includes recommendations for further reading. In addition to discussion of specific theories, the chapters address a host of broader issues and topics related to the field, such as the correlates of crime, testing theory, policy implications, and prediction. Encompassing theory, research, policy, and practice, this is an indispensable resource for students, scholars, and practitioners at all levels.
