Many textbooks provide summaries and critiques of criminological theories, which are often supported by empirical evidence. However, this evidence is only as good as the research methods that were used to generate it. Where do these 'facts' come from, and how reliable are they?Researching Theories of Crime and Deviance offers a critical evaluation of the research methods that generate data, bridging the gap between theory and research in the study of crime and deviant behavior. This unique resource challenges students to carefully appraiserather than blindly acceptthe research techniques that are used to produce theories and scholarship.In clear and engaging language, noted criminologists Charis E. Kubrin, Thomas D. Stucky, and Marvin D. Krohn assess the various research methods that have been used to test nine theoretical perspectives of crime. As they examine the processes and challenges of conducting theoretically directed research, the authors focus on sampling, measurement, and analytical issues. Coverage includes:* Rational Choice/Deterrence Theory* Trait Theories* Social Disorganization Theory* Anomie/Strain Theory* Social Learning Theory* Social Control Theory* Labeling Theory* Conflict Theory* Integrated TheoryA dynamic and compelling text, Researching Theories of Crime and Deviance demystifies the research process, encouraging students to become better informed readers and researchers. It serves as an excellent resource for criminological theory courses, graduatelevel research methods courses, and seminars that take a close look at the development of criminological theory and/or methods.
