Publisher Description Explaining Criminals and Crime is the first collection of original essays addressing theories of criminal behavior that is written at a level appropriate for undergraduate students. These clear, concise, accessible essays were written expressly for this book, either by the original author(s) of each theory or by a scholar who has written extensively about it.All major contemporary criminological theories are covered in this book, including:* Biological (Pauline Yaralian and Adrian Raine)* Strain (Robert Agnew, Steve Messner, and Richard Rosenfeld)* Social and Self Control (Travis Hirschi and Michael Gottfredson; John Laub, Robert Sampson, and Leanna Allen)* Social Reaction (Ross Matsueda and John Braithwaite)* Social Learning and Differential Association (Ronald Akers and Mark Warr)* Social Disorganization (Ralph Taylor)* Radical and Feminist (Michael Lynch and Paul Stretesky; Meda Chensey-Lind and Karlene Faith)* Rational Choice and Routine Activities (Ronald Clarke and Derek Cornish; Marcus Felson)* Integrated and Control Balance (Thomas Bernard and Charles Tittle)Explaining Criminals and Crime also offers section introductions that provide a historical background for each theory, key issues that the theory addresses, and a discussion of any controversies generated by the theory.Each theoretical essay contains:* A discussion of the key theoretical concepts.* The specific hypotheses derived from the theory.* Existing empirical research on these hypotheses.* Criticisms of the theory and efforts to deal with those criticisms.* Policy implications of the theory.Most criminological theories are published in journals or specialized texts and are written in language intended for other scholars.
