Introduzione alla sociologia della devianza e del crimine

Abstract

This volume is an essential tool for the critical education of social, political, and legal science students. By rigorously tracing the main theories and themes, it offers a fundamental update on the debate surrounding socio-criminological discourse and fills an existing gap in the Italian publishing landscape regarding contemporary developments. The book focuses on a deep survey of theories, analyzing crime and deviance identification strategies within various historical and intellectual contexts, with a particular emphasis on methodological aspects and the evolution of perspectives in their contemporary developments. Furthermore, it analyzes the practical applications of these different perspectives, identifying their viability in terms of interventions as well as control and prevention policies. This entirely original approach makes this textbook an essential resource for anyone wishing to approach the sociological study of deviance and crime in the contemporary world
