Summary: social context
Comment: The previous reviewer missed the point. Criminological theory should be studied with an appreciation of the social context (i.e., history) in which the theories were developed and extended.

Summary: THIS BOOK IS A HARD READ, BUT HAS SOME GOOD INFO
Comment: This book is a hard read. It is chockfull of historical research into the contexts of how different theorists came up with criminological theories. It covers control, conflict, and other theories, with an interesting section on feminine crime... This book is very convolluted and hard to follow at times, jumping back and forth between history and theorists...it needs to be made more clear and concise, and to make up whether it wants to be a book of theory or history. Also, the slanted views of the writers in favor of conflict theories is too obvious. Also, it should be used more for graduate study than undergraduate. If you have the time to decipher it, it has some interesting information in it. It is a small book, and perhaps this is why some of the theories were glazed over with little explanation or practical reviews. It is a decent book, but it should be made more accessible to the non-expert mind.
