For each theory, there is a clear introduction and discussion of its key propositions and concepts, followed by an examination of its impact on the criminal justice system and policymaking. The book concludes with chapters addressing white-collar crime, terrorism, and tools for addressing the evolving challenges within the field.áFundamentals of Criminologyáis well-suited for undergraduate courses in sociology, criminal justice, and criminology, especially those that address criminological theory.Divvya Sharmaáholds a Ph.D. in sociology and master&rsquo,s degrees in sociology and criminal justice.
