The authors bring the "person" back into criminology by focusing on understanding individual differences in criminal conduct and recognizing the importance of personal, interpersonal and community factors. What results is a truly interdisciplinary general personality and social psychology of criminal behavior that is open to a wide variety of factors that relate to individual differences -- a perspective with both theoretical and practical significance in North America and Great Britain.
The fourth edition has been rewritten to be easily accessible to a wider audience, and a new chapter has been added on the person in the social context. A selection of technical notes, separated from the general text, allows the advanced student to explore complex research without distracting readers from the main points.
