-Criminologists will benefit from reading this book in terms of understanding how a developmental perspective can provide new insight into the etiological questions central to the field. As well, sociologists interested in the life course will gain from considering how crime is a phenomenon related to the life course.---Druann Maria Heckert, Fayetteville State University -This collection of essays is first class. Each chapter is written by an expert--or experts--in the field and each certainly drives forward criminological theorizing on patterns of offending and human development. . . . It is a very worthwhile book, packed with state-of-the-art essays with sound lines of reasoning and which will drive forward criminological thinking in this area like no book before it.- --Stephen Farrall, British Journal of Criminology -This valuable book deserves to be read by criminologists concerned with the etiology of crime.- --Frank R. Scarpitti, Contemporary Sociology -This collection of theoretical works is a must read for those scholars of crime and delinquency desiring to stay at the cutting edge of contemporary criminology theory. . . . This review does not do justice to the complexity of the theories and the wide range of knowledge that the authors in this volume draw upon. Some readers, recognizing that some of the theorists incorporate and synthesize concepts from various existing theories, may object to some violation of theoretical assumptions. Regardless of any such objections, this collection of theoretical essays is an integrative contribution to the delinquency and crime literature. Through his editorship, Thornberry offers an incredible array of testable propositions for future research.- --Paul R. Vowell, Deviant Behavior
