Product Description

Product Description

This book provides a comprehensive and up-to-date introduction to criminological theory for students taking courses in criminology at both undergraduate and postgraduate level.

The text is divided into five parts, the first three of which address ideal type models of criminal behaviour the rational actor, predestined actor, and victimized actor models. Within these the various criminological theories are located chronologically in the context of one of these different traditions, and the strengths and weaknesses of each theory and model are clearly identified. The fourth part of the book looks more closely at more recent attempts to integrate theoretical elements from both within and across models of criminal behaviour, while the fifth part addresses a number of key recent concerns of criminology – postmodernism, cultural criminology, globalization and communitarianism.

A Student Perspective 10 Oct 2005
By A Customer
Format:Paperback
I was assigned this textbook as part of my BSc in Psychology and Criminology, and took to it right away. For a first-year Undergraduate this book is ideal as an introductory taste of Criminology with very few uses of jargon, and Hopkins Burke utilises a clear, compelling writing style to bring the possibly dull-sounding subject matter to life.
All-in-all this is a must buy for all students of Criminology, as well as those with more an interest in the field.
