Race, Gender, and Class in Criminology
First published in 2000. This series is dedicated to creative, scholarly work in criminal justice and criminology. Moreover, we ask the authors to emphasize readability. In this anthology Martin Schwartz and Dragan Milovanovic have managed to produce a work that is a combination of both. They also did this in the face of difficulties presented by a variety of theoretical perspectives and methodologies. The subject matter of this anthology-race, gender, and class-is a critical one for criminology.
Criminological Theories
As an experienced teacher of criminological theory at graduate and undergraduate levels, Imogene Moyer grew increasingly dissatisfied with the somewhat narrow focus of the books available. In her new text, Moyer has succeeded in presenting instructors and students with a comprehensive and engaging alternative. Moyer takes a multidimensional approach to the subject by including "new" theorists such as W.E.B. DuBois, Pauline Tarnowsky, Frank Tannenbaum, Ruth Shonle Cavan, and Sally Simpson, often allowing the theorists′ original source material to speak for them. Chapters are devoted to recently developed perspectives, particularly from women and people of color, which provide readers with a...
Routledge Library Editions: Women and Crime
This set reissues five books on the subject of women and crime. The titles, which were originally published between 1930 and 1996, include a book of case-studies of female criminals, a comprehensive annotated bibliography on the social conflict and change of women in crime, and essays which examine the construction of women in criminology. This set will be of particular interest to students of both criminology and women’s studies.
Unspeakable Acts
The sexual abuse of children is one of the most morally unsettling and emotionally inflammatory issues in American society today. It has been estimated that roughly one out of every four girls and one in ten boys experience some form of unwanted sexual attention either inside or outside the family before they reach adulthood. An alarmingly common occurrence, sexual abuse is traumatic and life-altering for children in its impact. How should society deal with the sexual victimization of children? Should known offenders be released back into our communities? If so, where, and with what rights, should they be allowed to live? In Unspeakable Acts, Douglas W. Pryor argues that much of this debate,...
Criminology
Across America, crime is a consistent public concern. The authors have produced a comprehensive work on major criminological theories, combining classical criminology with new topics, such as Internet crime and terrorism. The text also focuses on how criminology shapes public policy.
Criminal Justice Today
THE bestselling four-color book/multimedia package in the field, this introduction to criminal justice provides a "realistic" description of the American criminal justice system and how it works--police, courts, and corrections. Using a three-pronged thematic approach, it provides an "intricately woven picture" of contemporary American criminal justice, assumes a forward-looking perspective that recognizes the importance of individual rights, social order, multiculturalism, and high-technology as they affect the day-to-day practice of criminal justice, and gives serious emphasis to "terrorism" as a crime. Incorporates the most authoritative, reliable, and current information, statistics, and...
