Principles of Criminology,
By Oliver (London) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Principles of Criminology (The Reynolds Series in Sociology) (Paperback)
Well, having finished my masters I decided on some light reading until I found a decent job in London. I soon took an interest in Sociology and read in great depth on criminology. This book was one of the best when it came to offering what sociologist would called the 'Anomic Apprach'- and yes that is as in Durkheim's theory. This book is generally considered as one of the best if you are looking for something realtd to the theory of anoie, in the context of differential association (Sutherland's main theory). I would also draw comparisons with Cloward and Ohlin who, in the 60's wrote 'Delinquenct and Opportunity'- a masterpeice in the peicing together of these very difficult concepts.I always find it a shame that more people do not read book such as these aqs they really con offer a valued insight to the way society works, and more importantly, how it can go wrong. I woudl be interested if anyone else should have any thoughts on this subject. Please feel free to email me on olie_sharp@hotmail.com
