Produktbeschreibung

Research has revealed that a wide range of factors, from broad societal influences to individual characteristics, are associated with increased risk for crime. The authors' views on crime causation go beyond traditional criminological theories of strain, cultural deviance, social control, differential association, and social learning to present emerging and integrated models of the origins of crime, including antisocial peer socialization, social development, interactional theory, behavior genetics, and community determinants.
