Riassunto

This book is a straightforward guide to the major European and American sociological theories of crime, delinquency, social deviance, and social control. The authors present chronological descriptions of functionalism, anomie, subculture theory, symbolic interactionism, phenomenology, control theories, and radical criminology, with discussion of variant theories and the relation of theories of crime to social policy. This new edition has been extensively revised and updated, and includes a new chapter on feminist criminology.
