The Long View of Crime: A Synthesis of Longitudinal Research (eBook, PDF)

Redaktion: Liberman, Akiva M.

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

The main body of this book is devoted to answering a key question in criminology: What have we learned from recent longitudinal studies of crime and delinquency? Additional chapters include an introduction and overview, an essay reflecting on the findings highlighted in the volume from the broad perspective of the evolutionary ecological theory of crime, and a Future Directions chapter. The volume also includes an appendix which relates each of the reviews to the body of longitudinal studies reviewed in the volume. This not only shows which studies have informed which topics, but also highlights analytic opportunities that have not yet been explored and where this information could be applied in future research.

Rezensionen

From the reviews:

"A Synthesis of Longitudinal Research seeks to capitalize on the rapidly accumulating numbers of longitudinal crime and delinquency studies. ... The Long View of Crime is composed of seven independently authored chapters each dedicated to an in-depth examination of a specific aspect of the adolescent experience as addressed by longitudinal research on crime and delinquency. ... A salient strength of the book is the analysis of the longitudinal method itself. ... useful for the book's target audience of researchers and practitioners." (Stephen E. Tillotson, Journal of Youth and Adolescence, Vol. 38, 2009)
