\"\"<\/a>my wildly creative daughter dropped me an ecard from careerbuilder.com<\/a>, in which a monkey spake lines she had penned. always a sucker for talking monkeys (insert sociologist\/criminologist joke here<\/em>), i conducted my own experiments. i think talking monkeys could be an effective teaching tool. for example, please allow the primates to lay a little crim theory on you:<\/p>\n

let’s start with some robert k. merton<\/a>, from the oft-cited classic that hooked me on sociological criminology in the first place. if that does anything for you, check out edwin sutherland<\/a>, my intellectual great-grandaddy. of course, one cannot present sutherland these days without offering a travis hirschi<\/a>-style control theory rebuttal. labeling perspectives, such as those of edwin lemert and howard becker<\/a> offer an alternative vision based on the societal reaction to rule-breaking behavior. finally, feminist critiques<\/a> of male-based theories force a fundamental reexamination of the nature of crime, victimization, and survivorship.<\/p>\n
