This text focuses on contemporary criminology theory about the causes of crime and criminality. It outlines the claims that are advanced in many different theories, but goes beyond simply providing an inventory of current viewpoints. This work discusses: whether crime is a homogenous phenomenon, the social-structural processes in criminality, the question of whether biosocial factors must be incorporated, feminist criminology and realist criminology perspectives.
