Summaries and Customer Reviews are supplied by Amazon.com
This book uses a cognitive-behavioral and interactionist approach, integrating international theory and research and moving from broad, theoretical explanations and descriptions of crime toward empirical research on specific criminal offenses. Viewing the criminal offender as being embedded and continually influenced by multiple systems within the psychosocial environment, the book examines the causes, classification, prediction, prevention, intervention, and treatment of criminal behavior from a social psychological perspective. The Fifth Edition presents the criminal offender as existing on a continuum, ranging from the serious, repetitive offender that begins his/her criminal career at a very young age to the adolescent-limited offender who usually begins offending during adolescence.

Decent, But Riddled With Sloppy Factual Errors
| Customer Rating: | | This book attempts to be fair, but is rife with wrong or misleading information. I think the author tries to cover too much ground, and winds up out of his element. pp 391-392 "When a user is under the drug's (MDMA) effects, the user is often referred to as "rolling" because of the up-and-down rolling of emotions." "Rolling" refers to the way eyes tend to move around when a person is on this drug. It has nothing to do with a supposed emotional rollercoaster. Furthermore, this drug causes no such flapping of emotions. MDMA causes one big up of euphoria and elation, followed by one big crash. p 392. "Other adverse side effects of MDMA include heart, liver damage, strokes, and long-term brain injury." While nobody is saying this substance is healthful, the apparent neurotoxicity is a hotly debated issue. Long-term neurological damage has not been established. Most of the research behind these claims comes from George Ricaurte at Johns Hopkins, and his work has absolutely not been universally accepted. |
Not a Bad Book
| Customer Rating: | | This book is pretty good as a first text in a criminal psychology class. It has a lot of information about current and old research in the field. The only thing that keeps this book from being 4 or 5 stars, is the fact that it's pretty dry, and a little difficult to read. |
