• Extra informatie: - In this work, Dessaur explores the advancement of criminology as a fundamental science through the application of theoretical models, moving beyond traditional judicial classifications and intuitive typologies. The book provides a comprehensive survey of the main categories of explanation and prediction prevalent in criminology at the time, offering critical analysis of approaches such as psychodynamic explanations.The structure of the book includes discussions on: The dual subject matter of criminology as a fundamental science; The progression from judicial classifications and typologies to theoretical models; The use of mathematical models and methods in behavioral science; Concepts of explanation and prediction in criminology; Critical examination of contemporary types of criminological explanation. A review published in the British Journal of Criminology in 1972 described the book as timely, noting that criminology, in its quest for self-identity, had lacked a rigorous analysis and exposition of the logical basis necessary for scientific growth.
