Described by the learned editor of this new Routledge collection as âboth a subfield and a fundamental approach to criminological inquiryâ, theoretical criminology is concerned with debates about foundational analytical concepts: what is crime? What is punishment? It also seeks to explain outcomes: what causes crime? What is the effect of punishment? What makes a criminal?

As theoretical criminology continues rapidly to develop, this new four-volume âmini libraryâ meets the need for an authoritative reference work to make sense of the major works that have contributed to its growth. The gathered piecesâ"assembled by a distinguished scholar from the University of Oxfordâs Centre for Criminologyâ"explore the nature of âtheoryâ and âexplanationâ within criminology, and the sometimes fraught relationship between the two. Moreover, the collection maps the chronological development of criminology theory to provide a clear sense of its evolution, as well as to enable users to understand and explore the links between criminological analysis and general social, political, and cultural theory.

The fully indexed collection is also supplemented by the editorâs new introduction which provides a critical overview and analysis, and places the collected materials in their historical and intellectual context. Indeed, for researchers and students, Theoretical Criminology is an essential one-stop research and pedagogic resource.
