Description

Following the acclaimed success of the First Edition, this new edition of Criminological Theory continues to be the only text of its kind to stress the "context and consequences" of theory. Four of the original chapters have been carefully revised and a new chapter on the feminist perspective and "left realism" has been added. As well as a thorough presentation of the history of criminological theory, the authors continue their focus on the interconnection among social context, criminological theory and criminal justice policy-making.
