New Directions in Criminological TheoryFreda Adler, William S. Laufer Transaction Publishers - 406 頁 New Directions in Criminological Theory focuses on new approaches to theory construction, with particular emphasis on reformulations and new applications of existing paradigms. It includes an assessment of labeling theory, demonstrating how the approach could become part of a more comprehensive explanation of crime. A case is made for studying crime in terms of the social context in which crimes are conceived, interpreted, and negotiated. The debate between crime-general and crime-specific approaches is further amplified. A rethinking of Hirschi's control theory is presented. The volume includes theoretical discussions of spouse abuse, of punishment, and of power-control models. Additional chapters examine theoretical advances in corporate illegality, employee theft, and the alcohol/crime syndrome. These original contributions include: Charles F. Wellford and Ruth A. Triplett, â The Future of Labeling Theoryâ ; Austin T. Turk, â A Proposed Resolution of Key Issues in the Political Sociology of Lawâ ; David Weisburd and Lisa Maher, â Contrasting Crime-General and Crime-Specific Theoryâ ; Sally Simpson, â Strategy, Structure, and Corporate Crimeâ ; Edward W. Sieh, â Employee theftâ ; Robert Nash Parker, â Alcohol and Theories of Homicideâ ; Kimberly L.
