A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture

Why Crime? An Integrated Systems Theory of Antisocial Behavior explains why some people are more prone to antisocial behavior than others. In the book, risk factors from various academic disciplines and levels of analysis that increase the probability of antisocial behavior are identified and critically evaluated. Then, a new theory of antisocial behavior is offered, organized around the "integrated systems perspective" of science, which combines biological, sociological, psychological, anthropological, economic, and other factors into one theoretical model. The book is intended for courses in criminological theory and for in-depth understanding of factors that produce criminality, delinquency, and deviance.

Présentation de l'éditeur

For courses in Criminological Theory, Criminology, Deviance, and multi-disciplinary and inter-disciplinary classes in Perspectives on Crime.

Meaningfully combining and integrating various theories of crime, this text identifies known risk factors related to antisocial behavior that have been discovered within numerous academic disciplines. Organized around an integrated systems perspective, the book examines six levels of analysis, from cell to society. Relationships between factors at each of these levels of analysis and antisocial behavior are stated in a testable format, and a new theory of antisocial behavior and criminality is presented.
