Criminology Today: An Integrative Introduction prompts students to think
critically about the root causes of crime and the direct link between
criminological theories and public policies.
Core Theme: Social Problems vs. Individual Responsibility
Throughout the text, Schmalleger frames every major concept using his
hallmark theme: Is crime a consequence of systemic social problems, or is
it a matter of individual responsibility? Readers are constantly challenged to
look past simple definitions and analyze the complex interplay between
societal flaws (e.g., poverty, discrimination) and personal choices.
Key Features of the 11th Edition
• Modern Crime Coverage: Integrates up-to-date data on recent criminal
trends, focusing on the rise of fentanyl trafficking, modern carjacking
methods, and the implementation of the Cybersecurity and
Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) Act.
• Biological & Neurological Links: Explores emerging research on how
head injuries affect criminal behavior, including dedicated coverage of
Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE).
• Inclusive Language: Shifts entirely to person-first language throughout
the entire curriculum to make the text more accessible, professional, and
aligned with modern academic standards.

Chapter 1
What Is Criminology?
Understanding Crimes and the People Who Commit Them
CHAPTER OVERVIEW
Chapter 1 introduces the textbook and the field of criminology. Crime can be defined in a variety
of ways; the four main definitional perspectives see crime from the legalistic, political,
sociological, and psychological viewpoints. The text uses a legalistic approach, which sees crime
as a violation of the criminal law. This approach does have some limitations, some of which may
be addressed by the other perspectives on crime.
Many crimes are forms of deviant behavior, human activity that violates social norms;
however, not all crimes are deviant and not all deviant behavior is criminal. There is also a
significant difference between what is crime and what should be criminal. The consensus
perspective holds that a law should be enacted to criminalize a certain behavior when the
members of a society generally agree that such a law is necessary. However, in a multicultural
society, consensus may be difficult to achieve. The diversity of society is recognized in the
pluralist perspective, which suggests that behaviors typically are criminalized through a political
process after debate over the appropriate course of action.
The field of criminology itself is discussed in detail, with various definitions considered.
While criminology is primarily a social science, it is interdisciplinary. It contributes to, and
overlaps, the field of criminal justice. A criminologist is one who studies crime, criminals, and
criminal behavior; the term applies primarily to academics, researchers, and policy analysts with
advanced degrees who are involved in the study of crime and crime trends and in the analysis of
societal reactions to crime. Criminalists collect and examine physical evidence of crimes, while
criminal justice professionals do the daily work of the criminal justice system. There are many
professional opportunities for individuals with degrees in criminology.
One subfield is theoretical criminology, which posits explanations for criminal behavior.
There are many different theories of crime. General theories attempt to explain all (or most)
forms of criminal conduct through a single overarching approach. An integrated theory does not
necessarily attempt to explain all criminality but merges concepts drawn from different sources.
Evidence-based criminology or knowledge-based criminology involves the use of rigorous
scientific techniques to develop knowledge in the field of criminology. It is focusing on the
creation of a body of scientific evidence that is applicable to modern social problems and
realities.
Criminological theorizing has as its ultimate goal the development of meaningful social
policies based on scientific evidence. Translational criminology involves translating
criminological research results into workable social policy. Translating research into practice is
often difficult, even with solid evidence to support policy innovations. For example, despite
widespread concern among professional groups about the effect of the media on teenage violence,
policymakers have been reluctant to curtail the production of violent media. Essentially there is a
conflict between crime reduction policies and the profit motives of media vendors.
The social policy theme of the text is presented through a contrast of the two main
perspectives popular in today’s society: the social problems perspective and the individual
responsibility perspective. Recently the individual responsibility perspective has had a substantial
