	Crime Theories (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Most policy-making in criminal justice is based on criminological theory, whether the people making those policies know it or not.
		At one time, criminological theory was rather pure and abstract, with few practical implications, but that is not the case anymore.
		Criminological theories are primarily concerned with etiology (the study of causes or reasons for crime), but occasionally have important things to say about actors in the criminal justice system, such as police, attorneys, correctional personnel, and victims.

	Introduction: The Bearing of Sociological Theory on Criminological Research (by Mathieu Deflem)
		Not only was criminological thinking until the late 19th century not distinctly sociological, even when the earliest generation of criminologists focused on the social (rather than the biological or mental) correlates of crime, their analyses were not particularly informed by the theoretical insights from the burgeoning discipline of sociology.
		Importantly, the endeavors in criminological sociology in the immediate post-war era not only took up a central place within the discipline as a whole, but that many theoretical ideas in our subfield were also central to sociological theorizing as such.
		And serious criminological sociologists, like the representatives of any another disciplinary subfield, realize that core epistemological and theoretical issues are at stake in how their specialty enterprise and sociology as a whole are constituted.

	Cybercrime criminological researches
		The analysis of various criminological researches of cybercrime development in Germany during 1987-1993 allows drawing a conclusion of an evident increase in the overall number of crimes registered in this category and a considerable dominance of such cases as swindle and information technique manipulations among them.
		As to the cybercime criminological researches, it should be noted that their direct goal is to obtain information on qualitative and quantitative parameters of crimes, their determinants and effective measures taken to fight them, as well as to develop the system of conceptual and applied recommendations on improving procedures of preventing and fighting such offences.
		It means that the aim of criminological researches is to get materials that reveal deep and complex connections between some criminological features rather than just fix them.

	AN INTRODUCTION TO CRIMINOLOGICAL THEORY
		Virtually every one offers a summary of the main schools of criminological thought, in chronological order, starting with the classical work of Beccaria and ending with a chapter on contemporary or post-modernist theory.
		Nonetheless, there is a logic and rationality to his way of categorizing and explaining the schools of criminological thought.
		It rehashes the critiques of criminological theory that ignores the experiences of women and the traditional theories that correlated female crime with biology.

		The first section discusses the theoretical foundations of studying terrorism and the viewpoint of criminological sociology.
		It is fascinating to understand the sociological and criminological views of terrorism, yet disheartening to see such little overlap among criminologists, sociologists, and political scientists.

	Status of Criminological Theory
		Like other volumes in the series, this edited collection is intended to provide the reader with a "state of the art" understanding of significant theoretical and empirical issues.
		Consistent with biases in the discipline, the perspective of the volume is very much offender-centered and the problems of criminology are very much understood as the problem of criminality.
		Rather than read these biases and omissions as limitations of the current volume, it would be more helpful to think about them as signaling a need to "take stock" across the wider range of criminological problem areas and to do so in regular and frequent fashion.

	Marija Lukic - Criminological Study on Sexual Abuse
		We are referring to the criminological study on molesting of children in which Z. Mrević, the author, tries to penetrate in essence of this relationship, understand and explain some of reactions of the victims and those whose help and support are expected.
		As accepted in the modern criminological theory this approach rejects abstract functional frameworks where incest has been treated as a dysfunctional, deviated and dangerous attitude for community.
		Without a doubt, this is an exceptional, authentic, brave and specific project, which will be definitely an inspiration for future researches and studies covering this field, as well as an individual testing of all ideas and prejudices of all of us who represent a group of readers interested in issues and problems caused by incest.

	NEW DIRECTIONS IN CRIMINOLOGICAL THEORY
		This is the fourth in an occasional series of volumes, ADVANCES IN CRIMINOLOGICAL THEORY, launched to fill a perceived dearth of outlets for papers focusing on theoretical issues in criminology.
		In either case some sort of forum for bringing together discussions of theory from the recognized disciplines that contribute to criminological research is certainly in order.
		It would be misleading and of little value for scholars who are unfamiliar with criminological theory and seek a concise overview.

	CRIMINOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF OFFENDERS GUILTY OF ROBBERY (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		The criminal act of robbery is of special importance for criminological studies, since it indicates the trends of both, criminal acts against the property and acts of criminal violence.
		Until now there have been five or six serious researches conducted in Republic of Croatia, most of them, however, are of an earlier date, so that many questions remained open or unresearched.
		During the years 1994 and 1995 the authors of this paper have conducted the research of criminological characteristics of offenders convicted of robbery serving their sentences in the closed type penal institution.
