EVALUATION OF MAJOR THEORETICAL TRENDS IN CRIMINOLOGY FOR THE PAST TWO CENTURIES AND OF THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE THEORIES WHEN APPLIED IN CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEMS IN EUROPE AND THE UNITED STATES.
Abstract
THE BOOK ARGUES FOR A SYNTHESIS OF THEORETICAL TENDENCIES IN THE NATURAL AND NORMATIVE SCIENCE APPROACHES TO EXPLAINING THE CAUSES AND FORMS OF CRIME. THIS NEW CRIMINAL ANTHROPOLOGY WOULD TRANSCEND THE INCOMPLETE IMAGES OF MAN ASSUMED BY MODERN CRIMINOLOGICAL THEORIES WHICH ARE ULTIMATELY DERIVED FROM DARWIN, FREUD, AND MARX. --IN GERMAN
