S02 E16 — Criminological Theory: A Grand Overview (Roger Hopkins Burke)

In this comprehensive summary episode, we pull together the threads of the past 15 chapters and episodes to provide a holistic overview of Roger Hopkins Burke’s An Introduction to Criminological Theory. Perfect for revision, review, or rapid recap, this episode highlights:

🧠 Three Core Models of Crime:

  • The Rational Actor Model — rooted in classical thought and revived through right realism, deterrence theory, and routine activities theory.
  • The Predestined Actor Model — explaining crime via biological, psychological, and sociological positivism.
  • The Victimised Actor Model — emphasizing labeling, social conflict, radical perspectives, and the role of power in defining deviance.

📚 Key Theories Recapped:

  • Classical and neo-Classical criminology
  • Positivist foundations: biological, psychological, and sociological
  • Subcultural and ecological theories
  • Feminist and gendered perspectives
  • Critical criminology, zemiology, and postmodern critiques
  • Environmental and routine activity approaches
  • Social control and containment theories

🧭 What You’ll Take Away:

  • A clear map of how criminological thought evolved over time
  • Comparative strengths and weaknesses of each perspective
  • Real-world application for policing, justice systems, and policymaking
  • How to use this conceptual framework to tackle CSS exam questions effectively
