Daniel Curran and Claire Renzetti's work, Theories of Crime presents us with a tome in which the theories of crime are addressed with poignant and pointed research directly addressing the psychology of crime, punishment, and victimization. The paper specifically covers elements of crime within the context of their argument. Crime and punishment, victimization and retribution are our natural and legislated balances. Romancing the outlaw goes part of the way toward explaining the desire not to speak of violent crime in social terms. A first step in breaking these rounds of crime-and-punishment, punishment-and-crime, is to recognize the fact of their existence. 15 pgs. Bibliography lists 1 source.
