Clearly written and consistently organized,Theories of Delinquency is important reading for advanced undergraduate and graduate students in crime and delinquency.Review'I like the book a great dealit is easy to read, theoretically explicit, and relates the theories directly to issues of juvenile delinquency, which is very helpful. The empirical data brought to bear on the theories is contemporary and well presented, but the major strength of the book is itsextensive critique of each theoretical perspective on both empirical and theoretical grounds. The organization of the chapters is also a strength, with key concepts identified and defined, conceptual diagrams presented, and summaries of each chapter that are easily understood.'Michelle HughesMiller, Southern Illinois University'I really enjoy this book, it matches my class objectives perfectly. Once students have a good understanding of the theory, I can help them make the applications. Thanks for this valuable book.'Steve Stokes, Brigham Young University'Excellent overview of causes of delinquencywith an indepth analysis of the most important explanations. Very readable. Students appreciate the clear, concise presentation.'Richard Lawrence, St. Cloud State UniversityAbout the AuthorDonald Shoemaker is at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University.
