Over the past two centuries, many aspects of criminal behavior have been investigated. Finding this information and making sense of it all is difficult when many studies would appear to offer contradictory findings. TheHandbook of Crime Correlatescollects in one source the summary analysis of crime research worldwide. It provides over 400 tables that divide crime research into nine broad categories:Pervasiveness and intra-offending relationshipsDemographic factorsEcological and macroeconomic factorsFamily and peer factorsInstitutional factorsBehavioral and personality factorsCognitive factorsBiological factorsCrime victimization and fear of crimeWithin these broad categories, tables identify regions of the world and how separate variables are or are not positively or negatively associated with criminal behavior. Criminal behavior is broken down into separate offending categories of violent crime, property crime, drug offenses, sex offenses, delinquency, general and adult offenses, and recidivism. Accompanying each table is a description of what each table indicates in terms of the positive or negative association of specific variables with specific types of crime by region. This book should serve as a valuable resource for criminal justice personnel and academics in the social and life sciences interested in criminal behavior. | Handbook of Crime Correlates by Lee Ellis, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters
