This book was released on 2017-12-31 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Essentials of Criminology: A Student-Oriented Approach to Teaching Crime Theory is an accessible, relevant overview of criminological theories and their use in understanding, explaining, and responding to crime. The text provides foundational knowledge, engages students through real-life examples and scenarios, and focuses on select theories, exploring them in depth. The principal types of theory explored throughout the text include neo-classical theories (crime as a choice), structure theories (crime as a result of social environment, values, stressors, and subculture), process theories (crime as the result of individual learning, associations, and social/self-control), conflict theories (crime as a result of the unequal distribution of power), and developmental theories (crime as a career). The relationship between drugs and crime in society is also explored. The second edition of the text features an expansion of core criminal justice concepts, updated statistical data, and additional examples, activities, and assignments, which tackle relevant social issues including police-community relations, immigration policy, sexual misconduct, mass shootings, and gun control. The Essentials of Criminology is written for one-semester courses in criminology, criminal justice, and applied crime theory, and designed so that all the material in the text can be adequately and thoughtfully covered. Lisa Coole earned her bachelor's degree in sociology at Bridgewater State College and her master's degree in criminal justice at Northeastern University. She is an associate professor at Massasoit Community College, where she teaches courses in sociology, criminology, and the sociology of deviance. She is also a visiting associate professor at Bridgewater State University, teaching in both the Sociology and Criminal Justice departments. In addition to her academic career, Professor Coole has worked as a victim/witness advocate for the Massachusetts District Attorney's office, a program developer for Community Resources for Justice in Boston, Massachusetts, and a federal probation officer for the districts of Vermont and Massachusetts.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This concise textbook introduces students to multidisciplinary theories about why people commit crime. Winfree and Abadinsky strive to make the study of crime and justice as clear, concise, current, and consumable as possible. Tracing the evolution of theories and their influence on research today, the authors provide a solid foundation for students to understand the role theory plays in criminal justice practices. The first nine chapters explore various types of theories, providing the historical context and the basic assumptions each theory makes about human behavior, the causal arguments, and what criminologists have learned from testing the theories. The theory as originally proposed may have gone through a metamorphosis. Change is an important—and exciting—aspect of crime theory. Ideas that attempt to describe, explain, predict, and possibly control a specific behavior sometimes remain as originally conceived and sometimes evolve to something quite different. The final chapter explores the ways the various theories influence criminal justice policy, focusing on law enforcement. To help readers assimilate and synthesize the essentials of criminological theory, each chapter contains learning objectives, boxed material to stimulate critical thinking, bulleted summary points, key terms, and critical review questions. There are marginal notes throughout the text to highlight concepts, as well as a comprehensive glossary for easy review of important terms.

Book excerpt: In the fourth edition of Essential Criminology, authors Mark M. Lanier, Stuart Henry, and Desire .M.

It then covers the major theories of crime, from individual-level, classical, and rational choice to biological, psychological, social learning, social control, and interactionist perspectives. In this latest edition, the authors explore the kind of criminology that is needed for the globally interdependent twenty-first century. With cutting-edge updates, illustrative real-world examples, and new study tools for students, this text is a necessity for both undergraduate and graduate courses in criminology.

Book excerpt: Essentials of Statistics for Criminology and Criminal Justice helps students understand the vital role that research and statistics play in the study of criminology and criminal justice by showing them how to conduct and interpret statistics in real-world settings with a step-by-step approach to solving problems.

Book excerpt: A Fully Updated Second Edition of a Groundbreaking Text The only textbook of its kind, Criminological Theory: A Life-Course Approach, Second Edition includes original chapters written by an interdisciplinary group of scholars and experts. The unique collection of contributors comes from the fields of psychology, social work, epidemiology, criminology, psychiatry, and sociology.

Rather than concentrating exclusively on adolescence and adulthood, Criminological Theory examines the development of offending behaviors from birth through death. Each chapter incorporates a glossary of key terms to facilitate comprehension of topics and disciplines that might be unfamiliar to criminologists. The revised and updated second edition includes critical overviews of current research and presents avenues for future research, as well as empirical chapters featuring quantitative analyses and more traditional overview pieces. Innovative and groundbreaking, Criminological Theory: A Life-Course Approach, Second Edition is an essential text for students of criminology, criminal justice, and sociology.
