000436271 520__ $$aThis engaging book presents a contextual psychological interpretation of crime. It covers essential topics including psychopathy, antisocial personality disorder, and criminal lifestyle. The author's compelling analysis explains criminal behavior by showing how the criminal lifestyle is capable of integrating two seemingly incompatible crime paradigms: the career criminal paradigm and the criminal career paradigm. Starting with a context for criminality, then moving from particular conceptions of crime to more evidence-based theories, this volume challenges students to think in a different way about crime and criminal behavior.
000436271 520__ $$aKey features: * Chapter-opening clinical case studies: These real-life examples are included at the beginning of each chapter to help enhance understanding of the theoretical models and presented research results and to offer accessible and relatable ways to apply those models. * Examines the underlying structure of crime-related constructs: This book helps students break away from the common view that offenders are best understood as types or categories. In place of typologies, this book introduces the notion of correlated dimensions that help us understand how criminal behavior develops, operates, and, in many cases, eventually stops. * Offers a view of crime from the offender's perspective: This view assists students in gaining an appreciation of how the criminal views him- or herself, the surrounding environment, and his or her future, which is invaluable in understanding the nature of crime. * Explores evidence-based interventions: This approach helps students understand the concepts behind intervention and prevention strategies with a focus on "what works" and illustrates how to evaluate one's results through research.
