Criminological Theories: Introduction, Evaluation, and Application
"Engaging and informative."--Kevin M. Beaver,Florida State University"Extremely readable and accessible. It is one of the essential books on criminological theory and the first book that I suggest to someone wanting to become familiar with the broad realm of theories of crime and criminality."--Scott Vollum,James Madison University"The authors do a great job of identifying the key theorists, assumptions, state of research, and policy/programmatic uses for each theory."--David Mackey,Plymouth State University
