Exploring the role of theory and research in criminology, this book adopts a unique and refreshing approach to criminological theory by focusing on the great debates in criminology from its inception as a field to the present day. It explores the debates that have motivated criminological thought, that have represented turning points in theoretical and empirical trajectories, that have offered mini-paradigm shifts and that have moved the field forward.
