Criminological Theory: Past to Present, 7th Edition, edited by Francis T. Cullen, Robert Agnew, and Pamela Wilcox, is an academic reader exploring the historical development of criminological theory. The volume collects major historical essays alongside contemporary theoretical contributions, establishing how scholarly explanations of criminal behavior have changed across generations.
The selections progress across major theoretical traditions, ranging from early classical formulations by Beccaria and Lombroso to social disorganization, differential association, strain theories, and self-control perspectives. Additional groupings examine critical criminology, feminist theories, race and urban inequality, procedural justice, situational opportunity frameworks, life-course trajectories, and emerging topics such as climate change and crime.
To support guided reading, contextual introductions precede each main section and individual reading, framing the historical position of each work within the discipline. The collection is structured specifically for upper-level undergraduate students and graduate students pursuing advanced study in criminology.
