Principles of Criminology
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Principles of Criminology, authored by Edwin H. Sutherland and Donald R. Cressey, is hailed as the most authoritative work in the field of criminology.[citation needed] The first edition was published in 1934, although it was derived from a previous publication, Criminology (1924). The 1934 edition contained a paragraph claiming that crime is brought about by a conflict of behaviours that originated from different cultures. This was the seed of Sutherland's theory of differential association, which was fully developed in the fourth edition, published in 1947. Further editions of the book were published after Sutherland's death in 1950 by co-authors Cressey and D. F. Luckenbill.
