Reviews"This book is great. The students love it, the theoretical coverage is what you would expect from scholars like Francis T. Cullen and Robert Agnew, and the section introductions by the authors place these works in a broader context that is by far clearer than anything else on the market."--Travis Pratt, Arizona State University"The coverage is very comprehensive--in particular, the section on Feminist Theories provides some of the broadest coverage of the topic that I've seen in a criminological theory book. . . . I find it to be an exceptional resource for offering students the classic readings in each tradition."--Leana A. Bouffard, Washington State University"This is the only theoretical book that actually includes writings from/by the original theorists--I feel it is very important that students read what the theorists wrote (not what someone else says that they wrote). . . . I think the authors do a wonderful job of introducing each section, as well as each separate theory. I will re-adopt."--Lisa R. Muftic, University of North Texas, "This book is great.
