A thematic introductory criminology textbook that builds upon the divergence between a social problems viewpoint, which holds that crime is a manifestation of underlying cultural issues such as poverty, discrimination, and the breakdown of traditional social institutions; and a social responsibility perspective which claims that individuals are fundamentally responsible for their own behavior, and maintains that they choose crime over other, more law-abiding, courses of action.
