| criminology schmalleger 4th edition: Introduction to Criminology Pamela J. Schram, Joseph A. Schwartz, Stephen G. Tibbetts, 2023-10-24 If you are considering a career in any aspect of criminal justice, and you want to know more about the motivations and socio-psychological makeup of serious offenders, then this book is for you! Introduction to Criminology: Why Do They Do It? applies the dominant theories in the existing criminological literature as to why people commit crimes. In addition, we examine many recent (as well as many hypothetical) examples of serious crimes, and we demonstrate applications of theory as to why the offenders did what they did. While other textbooks do a decent job in discussing the basic theories, as well as exploring the various types of crime, our book integrates various street crimes within each chapter and applies theories that are appropriate in explaining such criminal activity. This is extremely important because most instructors never get to the latter typology chapters in a given semester or term. So our approach is to incorporate them into the theoretical chapters in which they apply directly to the theories presented. Our specific examples and true stories, such as notable serial killings and other recent crimes, in each chapter, as well as our use of established theoretical models to explain the offenses, is another primary distinction of this book. Obviously, this book is meant to be central to an introductory course in criminology, but due to the emphasis on applied theoretical explanations, it is also appropriate for higher-level undergraduate and graduate courses in criminological theory or as a reference for anyone in the field of criminal justice. In it, we have integrated true crimes (and some hypothetical examples) both on a general level, such as in the Applying Crime to Theory sections, and more specifically-in the Why Do They Do It? sections, which often involve serial killings, mass murderers, or other notorious examples of offenders/offending. The subtitle of our book-Why Do They Do It?-relates to our theme. Our goal in writing this book was to apply established theories of crime, which are often seen as abstract and hypothetical, to real crimes that have occurred, as well as to hypothetical ones that are quite likely to occur. To this end, we explore the various reasons for offending, or the why they do it in various cases, from the first documented serial killers in the United States-the Harpe Brothers in the late 18th century-to California cop-killer/spree-killer Christopher Dorner in 2013 and then Payton S. Gendron, who massacred 10 Black shoppers at a grocery store in Buffalo, New York in 2022. Importantly, throughout these discussions of actual crimes we will apply theories. As you will see, some of the theories that applied to the earliest crimes seem to apply to the most modern crimes as well. Unlike other authors in this field, we chose not to include separate chapters on violent or property crimes because we have worked those into and applied them to the theories explored in each chapter. We strongly believe that by integrating discussions of such serious crimes-all crimes previously identified by the FBI as Index or Part I offenses, including murder, rape, robbery, aggravated assault, burglary, motor-vehicle theft, larceny, and arson, as well as other crimes such as simple assault and driving under the influence-into the theoretical chapters provides the best exploration of why people commit such offenses. And the flip side is good as well; by discussing offenses together with theories, we show you how to apply theories toward explaining other instances of criminal behavior. Again, this goes back to our theme of why do they do it? It demonstrates our goal: Apply the appropriate theories for the specific crime-- |

| criminology schmalleger 4th edition: 21st Century Criminology: A Reference Handbook J. Mitchell Miller, 2009-08-06 Criminology has experienced tremendous growth over the last few decades, evident, in part, by the widespread popularity and increased enrollment in criminology and criminal justice departments at the undergraduate and graduate levels across the U.S. and internationally. Evolutionary paradigmatic shift has accompanied this surge in definitional, disciplinary and pragmatic terms. Though long identified as a leading sociological specialty area, criminology has emerged as a stand-alone discipline in its own right, one that continues to grow and is clearly here to stay. Criminology, today, remains inherently theoretical but is also far more applied in focus and thus more connected to the academic and practitioner concerns of criminal justice and related professional service fields. Contemporary criminology is also increasingly interdisciplinary and thus features a broad variety of ideological orientations to and perspectives on the causes, effects and responses to crime. 21st Century Criminology: A Reference Handbook provides straightforward and definitive overviews of 100 key topics comprising traditional criminology and its modern outgrowths. The individual chapters have been designed to serve as a first-look reference source for most criminological inquires. Both connected to the sociological origins of criminology (i.e., theory and research methods) and the justice systems′ response to crime and related social problems, as well as coverage of major crime types, this two-volume set offers a comprehensive overview of the current state of criminology. From student term papers and masters theses to researchers commencing literature reviews, 21st Century Criminology is a ready source from which to quickly access authoritative knowledge on a range of key issues and topics central to contemporary criminology. This two-volume set in the SAGE 21st Century Reference Series is intended to provide undergraduate majors with an authoritative reference source that will serve their research needs with more detailed information than encyclopedia entries but not so much jargon, detail, or density as a journal article or research handbook chapter. 100 entries or mini-chapters highlight the most important topics, issues, questions, and debates any student obtaining a degree in this field ought to have mastered for effectiveness in the 21st century. Curricular-driven, chapters provide students with initial footholds on topics of interest in researching term papers, in preparing for GREs, in consulting to determine directions to take in pursuing a senior thesis, graduate degree, career, etc. Comprehensive in coverage, major sections include The Discipline of Criminology, Correlates of Crime, Theories of Crime & Justice, Measurement & Research, Types of Crime, and Crime & the Justice System. The contributor group is comprised of well-known figures and emerging young scholars who provide authoritative overviews coupled with insightful discussion that will quickly familiarize researchers, students, and general readers alike with fundamental and detailed information for each topic. Uniform chapter structure makes it easy for students to locate key information, with most chapters following a format of Introduction, Theory, Methods, Applications, Comparison, Future Directions, Summary, Bibliography & Suggestions for Further Reading, and Cross References. Availability in print and electronic formats provides students with convenient, easy access wherever they may be. |

| criminology schmalleger 4th edition: Conservation Criminology Meredith L. Gore, 2017-03-14 This important new text introduces conservation criminology as the interdisciplinary study of environmental exploitation and risks at the intersection of human and natural systems. Taking an interdisciplinary approach, the book enhances understanding of the various human and organizational behaviors that pose risks to the environment, humans, and drive conservation crime. As human population growth, global market economies, climate change, deforestation, and illegal exploitation of natural resources continue to increase, academic research from numerous disciplines is needed to address these challenges. Conservation Criminology promotes thinking about how unsustainable natural resources exploitation is a cause and a consequence of social conflict. Case studies profiled in the book demonstrate this cause and effect type situation, as well as innovative approaches for reducing risks to people and the environment. This text encourages readers to consider how humans behave in response to environmental risks and the various mechanisms that constitute effective and ineffective approaches to enforcement of wildlife crimes, including environmental and conservation policy. Case studies from the USA, Latin America, Africa, and Asia highlight corruption in conservation, global trade in electronic waste, illegal fishing, illegal logging, human-wildlife conflict, technology and space, water insecurity, wildlife disease, and wildlife poaching. Taken together, chapters expand the reader’s perspective and employ tools to understand and address environmental crimes and risks, and to provide novel empirical evidence for positive change. With established contributors providing interdisciplinary and global perspectives, this book establishes a foundation for the emerging field of conservation criminology. |

First, this book discusses several behavioral disorders and theories related to crime. Theories are important because they describe the problem, they control the survey questions during a study (the instrument must be valid), and they provide possible solutions to the problem. Second, this book discusses terrorism and risk management, emergency response, HazMat scenes, agroterrorism, and some of the pros and cons of different strategies for managing terrorism. Finally, this book shows how to investigate a problem via academic research. Several research proposal examples are provided. Reading about a problem is good, but knowing how to solve a problem is better. What the readers will come to realize is that there are many assumptions and limitations related to a study, which may impact the credibility of the study. Hence, readers will come to realize the value of scholarly, peer-reviewed articles. |

| criminology schmalleger 4th edition: Prison Bureaucracies in the United States, Mexico, India, and Honduras Brian Norris, 2018-02-19 Modern criminal justice institutions globally include police, criminal courts, and prisons. Prisons, unlike courts which developed out of an old aristocratic function and unlike police which developed out of an ancient posse or standing army function, are only about 200 years old and are humanitarian inventions. Prisons, defined as modern institutions that deprive the freedom of individuals who violate societies’ most basic norms in lieu of corporal or capital punishment, were near universal at the dawn of the 21st century and their use was expanding globally. The US alone spent $60 billion on prisons in 2014. Prison Bureaucracies addresses two fundamental questions. Do prisons in Christian, Hindu, and Muslim societies separated by space and level of socioeconomic development follow a common evolutionary path? Given that differences in prison structure and performance exist, what factors—resources, laws, leadership, historical accident, institutions, culture—account for differences? Based on more than 150 interviews conducted in ten international trips with prison administrators in 15 male state prisons in the US, Mexico, India, and Honduras, Norris provides ethnographic descriptions of prisons bureaucracies that are immediately recognizable as similar institutions, but that nonetheless possessed distinctive forms and developmental trajectories. Economists and political scientists have argued that incentives provided by institutions matter for good or bad public administration, and this is undeniable in the prisons of this study. But institutional incentives were one factor among many affecting the form and function of the prisons and prison systems of this study. |
| criminology schmalleger 4th edition: Surviving Incarceration Rose Ricciardelli, 2014-05-30 Is prison a humane form of punishment and an effective means of rehabilitation? Are current prison policies, such as shifting resources away from rehabilitation toward housing more offenders, improving the safety and lives of incarcerated populations? Considering that many Canadians have served time, are currently incarcerated, or may one day be incarcerated—and will be released back into society—it is essential for the functioning and betterment of communities that we understand the realities that shape the prison experience for adult male offenders. Surviving Incarceration reveals the unnecessary and omnipresent violence in prisons, the heterogeneity of the prisoner population, and the realities that different prisoners navigate in order to survive. Ricciardelli draws on interviews with almost sixty former federal prisoners to show how their criminal convictions, masculinity, and sexuality determined their social status in prison and, in consequence, their potential for victimization. The book outlines the modern “inmate code” that governs prisoner behaviours, the formal controls put forth by the administration, the dynamics that shape sex-offender experiences of incarceration, and the personal growth experiences of many prisoners as they cope with incarceration. |
