The book Canadian Criminology Today, 7th Edition by Schmalleger & Volk takes a thematic approach to criminology. It explores two main perspectives: the social responsibility framework, which looks at crime as a result of underlying cultural issues like poverty and discrimination, and the individual responsibility perspective, which attributes crime to personal choice.
In today’s world, criminologists are faced with the challenges of globalization of crime, technology misuse, and the rise of transnational terrorism. They constantly strive to develop new laws and strategies to stay ahead of these emerging trends.
For students studying crime and criminal behavior, the key question remains: why do people commit crimes? Despite extensive research and theories, the answer is still elusive. Are some individuals inherently violent, or is it their exposure to violence during childhood that influences their behavior? What motivates someone to violate social norms, and does this motivation differ based on the type of crime? It is puzzling why a wealthy CEO may engage in financial fraud while a person living in a high-crime neighborhood remains law-abiding.
The latest edition of Canadian Criminology Today: Theories and Applications, 7th Edition continues to explore these questions, providing a contemporary and comprehensive introduction to criminology. It encourages readers to think critically about the causes of crime and strategies for crime prevention.
