degree work at the University of Chicago in 1913, at thirty years of age. From this he became interested in sociology and decided to make sociology the major rather than the minor. at Grand Island College in 1904, Sutherland entered the University of Chicago and took one course in sociology during the summer of 1906. From this he decided to select sociology as a minor while keeping history as a major. He had planned to take graduate work in history, but found that a course in sociology was a prerequisite for graduate work in history, and consequently he took a correspondence course in sociology to meet this requirement. Like Odum, he was teaching Latin and Greek in a small college. Sutherland, like many of the leading sociologists, as already noted, came to sociology from another field.
Odum provided the following biographical sketch of Edwin H. In his 1951 book, American Sociology: The Story of Sociology in the United States through 1950, Howard W. Upon his death, an obituary for Sutherland was published in the American Sociological Review (ASR 15:801-3).

Making the case that Sutherland is important to both mainstream and critical criminologists, to positivistic criminologists and those who study crimes of the powerful, this book is essential reading for both students and scholars interested in exploring the enduring legacy of this key thinker in criminology.ĭavid Friedrichs is Distinguished Professor of Sociology, Criminal Justice and Criminology at the University of Scranton (Pennsylvania, USA). What can and should Sutherland mean to future 21st century criminologists, those working in the field say between 20, or some one hundred years after the 1921 to 1950 period that encompassed Sutherland’s criminological career? Which dimensions of Sutherland’s work have best survived the march of time and which are most likely to – and deserve to – survive going forward? This book explores the contemporary meaning of Edwin Sutherland and considers why criminologists today should continue to engage with his work. He is especially well-known for his path-breaking criminology textbook (first published in 1924), his promotion of a sociological (and scientific) approach to the understanding of crime and its control, his theory of differential association, and his work over his final ten years on white-collar crime, a term he is credited with having introduced. Sutherland is widely identified as the single most important and influential criminologist of the twentieth century.
