Summary: Criminological Theory: Context and Consequences presents a comprehensive introduction to the main theoretical frameworks used to understand crime and criminal behaviour. It situates criminological theories within broader sociological and historical contexts, rather than treating criminal behaviour as merely individual moral failings. The book covers a wide range of perspectives — from classical sociological theories to modern biosocial views and cultural criminology — offering analysis of how various factors (social structure, biology, culture, environment) influence crime patterns. The authors also examine the implications of these theories for criminal justice policy and crime control. The 7th edition updates research and examples, includes discussion of white-collar crime, incorporates contemporary issues, and offers students a clear, accessible foundation for understanding and applying criminological theory.
