Against General Theory in Comparative Research
This paper argues against the search for a general theory of crime causation in comparative criminology. It includes a critique of two advocates of general theory, and offers three propositions which suggest appropriate strategies for theory construction in comparative research
Community Structure and Crime: Testing Social-Disorganization Theory
Shaw and McKay's influential theory of community social disorganization has never been directly tested. To address this, a community-level theory that builds on Shaw and McKay's original model is formulated and tested.

Crime and human nature: A Marxist perspective
Organizational Perversion
Islam, modernization and crime: A test of the religious ecology thesis
Freud, Foucault, and Social Control

This paper re-examines the traditional view of development as it relates to criminal justice, particularly from the international perspective.

These concerns include a defense of reason and a provocative critique of both culture and science. We then apply the critical model to themes and issues in criminology. Specifically, our analysis uses Habermas' t…
