Pamela J. Schram

Introduction to Criminology

Why Do They Do It?

Buch

Acclaimed authors and professors Pamela Schram and Steven G. Tibbetts skillfully connect criminological theories to real-life cases to help students better understand criminology fundamentals. They thoroughly introduce theoretical perspectives that explain criminal behaviour and are most respected by modern criminologists, while illustrating the theories with real-life examples such as street violence and property crimes. This text also includes many contemporary topics that are not well represented in competing texts, such as cybercrime, hate crimes, white-collar crime, homeland security, and identity theft.

Über den Autor

Stephen G. Tibbetts, currently a Professor at California State University, San Bernardino, has been pursuing an understanding of criminal offending for the past two decades. He has been attempting to discover the extent to which individuals' inherent dispositions and attitudinal traits contribute to their offending decisions, especially in relation to other factors, such as demographic, developmental, and situational factors. In addition to work on the differences between men and women in their decisions to commit deviant behavior and their perceptions of risk and consequences of getting caught, Dr. Tibbetts' research interests include the effects of perinatal disorders as an influence in future criminality, the etiology of white-collar crime, gang intervention, and citizens' attitudes regarding various forms of pornography. Dr. Tibbetts has published six books and more than 40 scholarly papers examining various issues in criminology. He received the annual Outstanding Professor Award at California State University, San Bernardino, in 2011.
