Abstract

Understanding theories of crime helps us to do two things. It helps us to look for things that we may not see at first glance, or that we may not have thought about looking for; and it helps us to understand the priorities and biases of dominant theories. Theory runs through all of what we know about sex and crime, so it might seem strange for us to have created a standalone chapter about it. We have chosen to do this in order to demonstrate how theories which are key to our understanding of sex and crime can be applied to particular problems in order to understand them better. In this chapter, we summarise six different theoretical approaches that we think are helpful, and then apply these approaches to a case to demonstrate how each theoretical approach can help us see the same story, idea, occurrence or practice in several different ways.
