Opis

This book assesses the numerous theories within criminology that try to explain crime and deviant behavior. It compares some of the most important criminological theories with general behavioral theory and in doing so, presents a novel approach to the analysis of crime and deviant behavior, known as ‘Analytical Criminology’.
