The two-volume Encyclopedia of Theoretical Criminology represents the most comprehensive, definitive reference source for theoretical criminology, providing the very latest information on major topics in the discipline. The broad coverage of the Encyclopedia familiarizes readers with the origins and evolution of leading theories, major theorists, concepts, applications, and degree of empirical support for both criminology and justice. By including theories of justice as well as mainstream and alternative criminological theory, the work is relevant to criminal justice as well as criminology and sociology and, importantly, is far better aligned with the ongoing trend toward a merged criminology-criminal justice discipline. Over 200 expertly authored entries are written by both established and emerging scholars from both North American and international perspectives, covering the strong and rapidly growing body of work on criminology in Europe and other areas. The volumes have been carefully organized to allow easy navigation. Intended for an international audience, the highly authoritative entries will further the interests of undergraduate readers while serving as a point of departure for more advanced readers.
