For junior/senior level courses in Psychology of Crime, Criminal Behavior, Criminology, and Crime Patterns. This text uses a cognitive-behavioral and interactionist approach, integrating international theory and research and moving from broad, theoretical explanations and descriptions of crime toward empirical research on specific criminal offenses. The book examines the causes, classification, prediction, prevention intervention, and treatment of criminal behavior from a social psychological perspective. The Sixth Edition presents the criminal offender as existing on a continuum, ranging from the serious, repetitive offender who begins his/her criminal career at a very young age to the adolescent-limited offender who usually begins offending during adolescence.

Following the acclaimed success of the First Edition, this new edition of Criminological Theory continues to be the only text of its kind to stress the 'context and consequences' of theory. Four of the original chapters have been carefully revised and a new chapter on the feminist perspective and 'left realism' has been added. As well as a thorough presentation of the history of criminological theory, the authors continue their focus on the interconnection among social context, criminological theory and criminal justice policy-making.

This volume introduces major theories of crime and criminality for the undergraduate student. It has two unique features: firstly, it emphasizes the social context of theory development, secondly, it makes a link between theoretical notions of crime and changes in social policy concerning crime and criminals. The book begins with early attempts to explain crime through differences in physical or psychological traits. There follows the reframing of crime as a question of social context, then the authors discuss more current developments, such as control theories, labelling and radical conflict theories. In conclusion, recent developments including the return to more conservative, individual-focused explanations of criminal behaviour are discussed.
