Crime and the American Dream 5th Edition Ebook

Authored by Steven Messner and Richard Rosenfeld, both highly respected scholars and researchers, CRIME AND THE AMERICAN DREAM, 5th Edition is the seminal work in a major segment of criminological theory. The foundation of the book is institutional anomie theory (an offshoot of Mertonian anomie theory), which the authors posit helps to explain why America’s over-emphasis on the pursuit of materialistic gain contributes to the country’s high rate of violent crime. Featuring a very clear and accessible writing style, this is a theory book that students will actually understand. Crime and the American Dream 5th Edition is written by Steven F. Messner; Richard Rosenfeld and published by Cengage Learning. ISBNs for Crime and the American Dream are 9781285401041, 1285401042 and the print ISBNs are 9781111346966, 1111346968.
