The best way to learn theories in criminology is through pop culture! In this episode, I discuss the following theories: Environmental Criminology, Routine Activities Theory, Rational Choice Theory, Social Bond Theory, Control Theory, Self-Control Theory, Modern Evolutionary Theory, Radical Theory of Criminology, Radical Theory of Feminist Criminology, Theory of African American Offending. I use examples from movies to help listeners conceptualize and fully understand each theory. Have fun!
