Description
The monograph presents fundamental criminological theories, schools, and currents in their historical context. It provides a clear and understandable explanation of the main concepts and introduces the leading figures of individual theories, placing them vividly within their family backgrounds, times, and works.
Although criminological theories are categorized into certain logical groups, the author approaches their explanation primarily from a historical perspective, from the classical criminological school to the present. The work certainly does not contain a complete list of especially contemporary criminological theories, but the theories selected by the author have meant or continue to mean a lasting enrichment of criminological thought.
The publication may be useful not only for academics, students, legislators, or workers in the criminal justice system but also for all those interested in criminology, criminal law, sociology, pedagogy, and other related social sciences.
