SynopsisCriminologists can benefit from questioning the underlying assumptions upon which they rest their work. Philosophy has the ability to clarify our thoughts, inform us of why we think about things the way we do, solve contradictions in our thinking we never knew existed, and even dissolve some dichotomies we thought were cast in stone. One of those dichotomies is free will vs. determinism. Criminology must reckon with both free will and agency, as posited by some theories, and determinism, as posited by others--including the ever more influential fields of genetics and biosocial criminology. Criminological Theory: Assessing Philosophical Assumptions examines philosophical concepts such as these in the context of important criminological theories or issues that are foundational but not generally considered in the literature on this topic. The uniqueness of this treatment of criminological theory is that rather than reporting what this person or that has said about a particular theory, Walsh exposes the philosophical assumptions underlying the theory. Students and scholars learn to clarify their own biases and better analyze the implications of a broad range of theories of crime and justice.

WRONG BOOK !
The only reason why I’m giving good stars is so it can go through my review I received the 8th edition when I purchased the 7th edition book and I never receive a consultation asking me if it was okay for me to receive this one. The reason why I purchased online was because in the library from my university they had the 8th and not the 7th that the professor was asking. I could’ve easily bought the one from my university with my school voucher. now I wasted money and bad grade because of this.
