Críticas:

"Criminology has entered into a new era in which standard ideas are being revised or replaced by fresh theoretical and empirical investigations. In The Future of Criminology, Rolf Loeber and Brandon Welsh capture the field's dynamic nature by pulling together, under one cover, diverse ideas of where criminology should head. Written by leading scholars, the volume's contributions provide lucid and compelling assessments of how best to think about crime and its control. Every scholar should keep this book close at hand and consult it regularly."--Francis T. Cullen, Distinguished Research Professor, University of Cincinnati "Inspired by David Farrington, one of the world's foremost scholars of criminology, The Future of Criminology is designed to be a 'state of the art' collection of essays delineating criminology's contribution to our understanding of crime prevention and its control. It succeeds admirably as a diverse group of leading scholars summarize, integrate, and extend previous work on child delinquency, criminal careers, psychopathology, high-risk families and communities, and experimental criminology. Researchers, policymakers, and students will benefit greatly from a close study of its chapters."-- Joan Petersilia, Adelbert H. Sweet Professor of Law, Stanford Law School "This set of contributions, by forty world-renowned criminologists, constitutes a cutting-edge volume for future generations of scholars to take the baton from David Farrington."--Gerben Bruinsma, Director of Netherlands Institute for the Study of Crime and Law Enforcement, Amsterdam "Criminology has entered into a new era in which standard ideas are being revised or replaced by fresh theoretical and empirical investigations.

They have recruited impressive authors to cover the key aspects of the transition from juvenile to adult offending. This volume provides one more important contribution by Loeber and Farrington in their leadership of synthesizing recent criminological knowledge into policy-relevant conclusions." -- Alfred Blumstein, University Professor and J. Erik Jonsson Professor of Urban Systems and Operations Research, The Heinz College Carnegie Mellon University "This timely, masterful volume covers a wide range of empirical, theoretical, and policy studies that will be of great interest to researchers and policy makers concerned with young people's transition from juvenile delinquency to adult offending. Loeber and Farrington have provided a highly valuable service to all of us committed to understanding and improving the lives of vulnerable children, youth, and young adults" -- David Olds, Professor of Pediatrics and Director, Prevention Research Center for Family and Child Health, University of Colorado Denver

Reseña del editor:

Criminology is a dynamic and evolving field of study. In the recent decades, the study of the causes, development, prevention, and treatment of juvenile delinquency and adult crime has produced many important discoveries. This volume address two questions about crucial topics facing criminology - from causation to prevention to public policy: Where are we now? What does the future hold? Rolf Loeber and Brandon C. Welsh lead a team of more than forty top scholars from across the world to present the future of research, policy, and practice in the discipline.
