Description

In Criminological Theories: Introduction, Evaluation, and Application, Eighth Edition, Ronald L. Akers, Christine S. Sellers, and Wesley G. Jennings provide a concise but thorough review and appraisal of the leading theories of crime and criminal justice. Based on the widespread success of the first seven editions, this landmark book keeps current with changes in the development, testing, integration, and application of important criminological theories. Each chapter has been updated and substantially revised in light of recent research and important changes in the theories. More extensive revisions and updating have been done on biological and biosocial, psychological, social disorganization, and conflict theories.

Editorial Reviews

"Criminological Theories is a solid text that covers a wide range of criminological theories, from early ideas about deviant behavior to current policy-relevant theories. It also emphasizes the evaluation of competing theories, which is beneficial for all students of criminology."--Robert Jenkot, Coastal Carolina University

"Criminological Theories provides an overview of the central tenets and history of major criminological theories and details the contemporary state of theory testing. It is an excellent, sophisticated resource."--David Mackey, Plymouth State University

"Criminological Theories allows students to pursue one theory at a time, culminating in the integration of the many theories."--Robert P. Engvall, Roger Williams University
