ebooks Styrian Witches in European Perspective: Ethnographic Fieldwork (Palgrave Historical Studies in Witchcraft and Magic) by Mirjam Mencej in History

Description

Ideal for use in either crime theory or race and crime courses; this is the only text to look at the array of explanations for crime as they relate to racial and ethnic populations. Each chapter begins with a historical review of each theoretical perspective and how its original formulation and more recent derivatives account for racial/ethnic differences. The theoretical perspectives include those based on religion; biology; social disorganization/strain; subculture; labeling; conflict; social control; colonial; and feminism. The author considers which perspectives have shown the most promise in the area of race/ethnicity and crime.
