Theoretical Criminology

by the late George B. Vold, Thomas J. Bernard, Jeffrey B. Snipes

Theoretical Criminology, the standard text in its field, has been extensively revised and completely updated. The fifth edition offers new sections on causation in scientific theories, Sampson's theory of collective efficacy, and Anderson's "code of the street." A new chapter on contemporary
classicism includes sections on deterrence theory and research, routine activities theory, and rational choice theory. Also included is a new chapter that examines the role of gender in criminology theories, covering feminist criminology and theories of masculinity and crime. Each theory is
presented accurately and comprehensively within its historical context. Relevant empirical research is reviewed and assessed, and research issues related to theory testing are also discussed. Lively and engaging, this new edition is designed to appeal to students at all levels. Offering the most
precise, clear, and thorough presentation of criminology theories, Theoretical Criminology retains its premier position in the field of criminology.

این کتاب با وجود تعداد صفحات زیادش، همه ی نظریه ها رو پوشش نداده و از طرف دیگه کم کم داره بوی کهنگی می گیره، مگر اینکه همراه یه کتاب روزآمد به عنوان مکمل برای نظریه های قدیمی ازش استفاده بشه
.

Amazing book. You can't understand theories of criminology at all if you can't understand them after reading Bernard and Bold. Really marvellous work with simple english and layman's calibre ideas.
