• Extra informatie: - Theories in Criminology presents an interesting approach to the study of crime by placing it within a legal-sociological context. An insight into the historical develop ment of criminological theories is gained by comparative analysis of European, Soviet, and American treatment of crime problems. Dr. Schafer deals impressively with such important questions as the relationship between the law command and crime factors, law as an expres sion of societal values, law as a reflection of morality, and law as the creator of crime. His ob jectivity allows him the freedom to examine.both past and contemporarv theories by shedding light on the historical forces which help to create the atmosphere for certain philosophical conclu sions. Thus we come to appreciate why experts at one time may have placed the blame of crime solely on the individual, and why today, with our emphasis on law, psychology, and sociology, we view the criminal in another light. Dr. Schafer emphasizes the point that these changing values have an important bearing on the laws that are established to deal with the crime problem.
