Modern Control Theory and the Limits of Criminal Justice
Bok av Michael Gottfredson
Modern Control Theory and the Limits of the Criminal Justice develops and extends the theory of self control advanced in Gottfredson and Hirschi's classic work A General Theory of Crime. Since it was first published, their general theory has been among the most discussed and researched perspectives in criminology. This book critically reviews the evidence about the theory, contrasting it with alternative perspectives, and argues in favor of
prevention efforts during early childhood to deal with the many problems facing the criminal justice system in America.
