| Summary: | "The standard text and reference in its field has been extensively revised and completely updated. New sections include materials on neurotransmitters, environmentally induced biological components of behavior, impulsiveness and crime, neighbourhoods as causes of crime, situational contexts of crime, the decline and resurgence of strain theories, and control-ology. The test also examines Gottfredson and Hirsch's General Theory Crime, Katz's Seductions of Crime, Hagan's Structural Criminology, Black's Behavior of Law, as well as postmodern criminology and feminist criminology. A new chapter on developmental criminology discusses criminal careers, longitudinal research, the relationship between age and crime, Thornberry's interactional theory, and Sampson and Laub's age-graded theory of informational social control. A second chapter on integrated theories discusses recent efforts by Elliott et al., Braithwaite, Tittle, Vila, and Bernard and Snipes." |
