Description
The authors provide the reader with a selective "Cliff Note" approach to the definitions of crime, the theories of crime, and the related causal theory. Included are major contributors to the study of criminology that span or encompass many interacting disciplines -- none of which holds a singular or definitive explanation for the definition of crime, causal factors of deviance, or problems associated with crime.
