A visual introduction to neighborhood-based criminological theory

Part of the CrimComics series, this 32-page illustrated guide introduces Social Disorganization Theory through sociological, community-focused approaches to understanding crime. It places the theory’s development within social and political context, then connects its concepts to real-world application. The issue addresses neighborhood collectives through ideas including social disorganization, collective efficacy, and street culture. Review questions and a key-terms page at the end give the volume a built-in study component, making it useful as a compact companion to broader criminology coursework.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Students beginning criminology or criminal-law study
  • Learners who prefer visual presentations of academic concepts
  • Readers seeking an introductory guide to neighborhood and community theories of crime

Book overview

CrimComics offers a new way to approach criminological theory by engaging students with impactful, highly visual illustrated texts. Each CrimComics Issue traces the development of the theory--placing it in social and political context--and demonstrates its application to the real world. The last page of each Issue features review questions and key terms.

Issue 4, Social Disorganization Theory, introduces students to sociological, community-based theories that analyze key aspects of neighborhood collectives like social disorganization, collective efficacy, and street culture in an effort to understand crime. Other issues include Issue 1: Origins of Criminology, Issue 2: Biology and Criminality, and Issue 3: Classical and Neoclassical Criminology.
