Capitalism and Classical Sociological Theory, written specifically for one-semester courses, provides a solid foundation for understanding contemporary debates on social theory. This authoritative text provides in-depth coverage of the classical works of Marx, Durkheim, and Weber and selectively extends that coverage by examining the important works of Georg Simmel and early feminist social writers such as Mary Wollstonecraft and Jane Addams. It explains how classical sociological theory emerged through debates about social transformation and European Enlightenment, offering a balanced coverage of the most significant contributions by the canonical theorists. Extended passages from the original texts allow for a fuller historical context, and every attempt is made to make the classical canon relevant to capitalism in the twenty-first century by drawing upon issues related to contemporary debates about globalization, culture, and the global financial crisis of 2008-09.

Victimology

How should the needs of victims of crime be met by the criminal justice system? Have the rights of victims been neglected in order to ensure that a defendant is brought to 'justice'? Who are the victims of crime and why are they targeted? This new book examines the theoretical arguments concerning victimization before examining who victims actually are and the measures taken by the criminal justice system to enhance their position. Particular attention is paid to the victimization of women, LGBT persons, minority ethnic persons and the elderly. The book engages in a detailed exposition of the law’s response to such victimization, focusing on the measures adopted in international human rights law, by the Council of Europe, and in English law and policy. It also assesses alternative models of victim participation in criminal proceedings in European jurisdictions such as Germany, Sweden and the Netherlands. Adopting an interdisciplinary approach which encompasses law, criminology and social policy, the book is ideal for undergraduates taking an option in victimology, race and crime, or gender and crime, whatever their disciplinary background.

Capitalism and Classical Social Theory, Second Edition

Most texts on classical social theory offer exhaustive coverage of every possible theorist, making it difficult to use the book in one semester. Capitalism and Classical Social Theory, Second Edition represents a departure from this approach by offering solid coverage of the classical triumvirate (Marx, Durkheim, and Weber), but also extending the canon strategically to include Simmel, four early female theorists, and the writings of Du Bois. The result is a manageable, but thorough, examination of the key classical theorists.
 The second edition has been updated throughout and includes two new chapters: one on Weber and rationalization, and one on Du Bois and his writings on race. A new concluding chapter links classical theory to current developments in capitalism during an age of austerity.

Capitalism and Classical Social Theory: Fourth Edition

University of Toronto Press

In this third edition of Capitalism and Classical Social Theory, John Bratton and David Denham build on the classical triumvirate—Karl Marx, Émile Durkheim, and Max Weber—by extending the conversation to include early female theorists such as Mary Wollstonecraft and Charlotte Perkins Gilman, as well as the writings of W.E.B. Du Bois and G.H. Mead.
 Connecting current headlines in the political mainstream to concepts like alienation, anomie, class, gender, race, and the environment, Capitalism and Classical Social Theory sheds light on how classical social theories may be applied and understood within a contemporary context. This revised and expanded third edition features topical discussions of socio-economic shifts in the post-Trump and post-Brexit world and uses original excerpts and additional readings to further contextualize the significance of classical social theory today.

Bratton, John A.

How should the needs of those injured in the 7/7 terrorist attacks be met by the criminal justice system? Have the rights of victims been neglected in order to ensure that a defendant is brought to 'justice'? Who are the victims of crime and why are they targeted?

Particular attention is paid to women, homosexuals, ethnic minorities and the elderly as victims and students are introduced to alternative models of victim participation in criminal proceedings within other European jurisdictions providing an enlightening comparative analysis. Adopting an interdisciplinary approach which encompasses law, sociology and social policy, this textbook is ideal for undergraduates taking an option in victimology, race and crime, or domestic violence whatever their disciplinary background.
