Criminological

Theory, 1ed

Welcome!

Welcome to the companion website forWalsh, A: Criminological Theory: Assessing Philosophical Assumptions, 1st Edition examines philosophical concepts in the context of important criminological theories or issues that are foundational but not generally considered in the literature on this topic. The uniqueness of this treatment of criminological theory is that rather than reporting what this person or that has said about a particular theory, Walsh exposes the philosophical assumptions underlying the theory. Students and scholars learn to clarify their own biases and better analyze the implications of a broad range of theories of crime and justice.

Key Features

  • Offers a fruitful perspective on theories of criminology.
  • Covers a wide range of philosophical concepts that are relevant to each major criminological theory.
  • Challenges scholars and advanced students to think deeply about criminal behavior and its causes.
