Explaining Crime - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Discusses the definition, measurement, and explanation of criminal conduct. Evaluates propositions about criminal behavior from the social and biological sciences in terms of the clarity of the concepts, the quality of the evidence, and the usefulness of the theories for public policy. The authors conclude that no one explanation accounts for all of the variation in crime rates, and variations may result from changes in a variety of social conditions.
