Designed for an undergraduate criminology or criminological theory course, Criminological Theories: Understanding Crime in America explores crime, crime theory, and various forms of criminal behavior within the United States. Thoroughly revised and updated, this text focuses strictly on theories while avoiding discussion of the criminal justice system. Interdisciplinary in scope, it includes comprehensive coverage of white-collar crime, biological theories, DNA, and biology. This Second Edition includes boxes throughout that highlight public policy, contemporary issues in the news, and profiles of offenders, all related to the chapter material.
