Developmental and Life-course Criminological Theories: The Library of Essays in Theoretical Criminology

Autor Tara Renae McGee, Paul Mazerolle
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 9 mar 2015
The developmental and life-course perspective in criminology came to prominence during the late 1980s and throughout the 1990s a number of theories were developed to explain offending behavior over the life-course. This volume brings together theoretical statements, empirical tests and debates of these major theories within the developmental and life-course criminology perspective. In the first section of the book, original theoretical statements are provided and this is followed by a section which includes empirical tests of each of these theories conducted by researchers other than the original theorists. The final section of the book provides a summary of the major debates both within the developmental and life-course perspective and also between this perspective and others within criminology. This comprehensive volume provides an informative overview of the developmental and life-course perspective in criminology.

Descriere

The developmental and life-course perspective in criminology came to prominence during the late 1980s and this was followed in the 1990s by more theories to explain offending behavior. This volume brings together selected articles from the debates of these major theories, including key theoretical statements and empirical tests undertaken by researchers other than the original theorists. The collection not only surveys debates within the developmental and life-course perspective but also between this perspective and others within criminology.
