Elements in Criminology
Elements in Criminology seeks to identify key contributions in theory and empirical research that help to identify, enable, and stake out advances in contemporary criminology. The series will focus on radical new ways of understanding and framing criminology, whether of place, communities, persons, or situations. The relevance of criminology for preventing and controlling crime will also be a key focus of this series.
Rather than summarizing traditional theories and approaches, Elements in Criminology will reinforce and advance “turning points” in recent years, and identify new turning points as they emerge. Additionally, the series seeks a mix of forward-looking analytical reviews, as well as reports on innovative new research.
