Condizione: New. Idioma/Language: Español. La teoría del autocontrol ha tenido un impacto sobresaliente en Criminología. Propuesta originariamente en 1990 en A general theory of crime por Michael Gottfredson y Travis Hirschi mantiene que el autocontrol bajo es la causa y explicación fundamental del delito a nivel individual, a la vez que realiza predicciones muy audaces, como las relativas a su generalidad, por ejemplo a lo largo de contextos socioculturales. En el presente volumen colectivo se pone a prueba la generalidad de la teoría del autocontrol en particular en tests empíricos con datos de Colombia, Ecuador, España y Venezuela. De este modo se une a las cada vez más habituales investigaciones que han testado ésta y otras teorías en ámbitos socioculturales muy distintos entre sí y respecto a los Estados Unidos, de donde proceden, con alguna notable excepción, las más inuyentes explicaciones del delito. De modo más general, este esfuerzo colectivo desea también con-tribuir al conocimiento, crítica y evaluación de las explicaciones más importantes sobre el comportamiento criminal entre las que se encuentra la teoría general del delito, así como al desarrollo de la Criminología positiva mayoritaria en los países de habla his-pana. Ambos campos se encuentran íntimamente relacionados, a la vez que su cultivo en nuestros países es pobre. El presente volumen ha sido estructurado en torno a cuatro partes, tras la introducción inicial por los editores Serrano Maíllo y Birk-beck: la teoría general del delito y sus críticos (I); la medición del autocontrol (II); el test de la teoría (III); y la cuestión del género en Gottfredson y Hirschi (IV). En conjunto, los diversos estudios permiten al lector realizar una evaluación amplia de los alcances de la teoría general del delito cuando ésta se considera a la luz de datos provenientes de diferentes muestras de estudiantes adolescentes o jóvenes adultos de varios países de habla hispana. Los resultados indican que la teoría ofrece una explicación prometedora para la conducta delictiva, a la vez que plantean interrogantes sobre diversos aspectos relevantes. Los doce autores que presentan sus trabajos en las páginas que siguen proceden de seis universidades diferentes y representan a otras tantas nacionalidades. *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente.
