Kurzbeschreibung

The two-volume Encyclopedia of Theoretical Criminology represents the definitive and most up-to-date reference source for theoretical criminology. Expertly-authored entries from international contributors familiarize readers with leading theories, concepts, and key figures in the field. The volumes offer a mix of classical and contemporary topic coverage on major crime types, crime correlates, discipline-specific (sociology, biology, and psychology) and interdisciplinary explanations of criminality, crime rate, and socio-legal issues

The Encyclopedia of Theoretical Criminology in zwei Bänden ist zweifelsohne das aktuellste Referenzwerk der theoretischen Kriminologie. Fachlich geprüfte Beiträge internationaler Experten machen den Leser mit wegweisenden Theorien, Konzepten und Schlüsselfiguren vertraut. Das Nachschlagewerk präsentiert klassische und zeitgenössische Themen zu den wichtigen Straftatbeständen, Zusammenhängen, fachspezifische (Soziologie, Biologie und Psychologie) und fachübergreifende Erklärungen zu Kriminalität, Kriminalitätsrate und Fragestellungen aus der Rechtssoziologie.
