In this comprehensive anthology, Cullen and Agnew take readers on an excursion from past to present, reviewing classic and contemporary theories of crime. Students are introduced to the foundations of criminology and to the competing theories that will shape thinking about crime in the years ahead. Building on the success of the Second Edition, the Third Edition features nine new selections. Two new parts have been added: Conservative Criminology and Environmental Criminology. Updated introductory essays provide in-depth reviews of the different theories and their relationship to one another. The Third Edition also begins with a unique Guide for Readers - an essay that helps students understand both the structure of criminological theory and how to use the book's readings most effectively. A brief introduction precedes each individual reading, alerting readers to key points and integrating the selection into the larger theme of the section. These introductions serve as a useful road map as students explore the ongoing intellectual developments, diverse views, and continuing debates that make the study of criminological theory an exciting adventure.

This book is a textbook so it is not something you would just pick up to read for fun. It is very well written I have not found a lot of typographical errors in it which you sometimes do find even in textbooks. The authors and the passages written are done in such a way that it makes the concepts very easy to understand. Overall I would recommend this book to anybody who needs a criminology text. Unfortunately if you need it you are taking the class which means you buy whatever book your instructor tells you too LOL.
