The book guides students through the various definitions of crime and the different ways crime is measured. It then covers the major theories of crime, from individual-level, classical, and rational choice to biological, psychological, social learning, social control, and interactionist perspectives. The more sociocultural theories, beginning with social ecology theory and moving on to strain/subcultural theory, conflict, Marxist, and anarchist approaches, are also treated. In the last chapter, Mark Lanier and Stuart Henry examine new directions in criminology, including left realist, feminist, postmodern/constitutive, and integrative theory.Among the several unique, student-friendly features in Essential Criminology are an original, integrated, prismatic definition of crime; equal time examples from both white-collar (suite) and conventional (street) crime; chapter-by-chapter discussion of criminal justice policy implications; summary empirical research charts for each of the theories; and summary concept tables.
