Kriminalsoziologie

Criminal sociology lies at the junction where several academic disciplines meet. It focuses on criminality in the context of society and the individual from different perspectives and with different methods. Current research works from the core disciplines of criminology and sociology are often linked to questions concerning psychology, law, pedagogy, economics, theology and philosophy. This variety has created a rich research landscape, which up to now has not been represented comprehensively, and this handbook endeavours to remedy that in a selection of subject areas. Experts in this field describe their current subjects of research in a systematic and detailed manner. Apart from examining the current state of discussion and research, the book focuses on the presentation of individual studies and attaches great importance to them being easily comprehensible.
