Description
New Directions in Criminological Theory brings together leading scholars from around the world to explore fresh concepts and theoretical perspectives for understanding crime and violence in the 21st century. This collection challenges traditional notions of criminology, instead focusing on the complex causes and conditions that lead individuals and groups to harm others. By examining a range of topics, from the micro-level of personality disorders to the macro-level of global power-crime, these scholars offer new insights into the nature of crime and its relationship to politics, culture, and subjectivity. This book is an essential resource for students and researchers in criminology, providing theoretical concepts and frameworks that can inform research and analysis. Suitable for undergraduate and postgraduate study, this collection will appeal to those looking to deepen their understanding of criminological theory and its application to real-world issues.
