It emphasizes the connections among the different approaches, and demonstrates how, taken together rather than as rival explanations, they provide a more complete picture of crime and criminality than each provides individually. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTheories are arranged throughout the book in a temporal sequence, from distal to proximal causes of crime. The analysis spans 100,000 years, from the evolutionary roots of criminal behaviour in the ancestral environments of early humans on the African savana, to the decision to engage in a specific criminal act. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKey features of the book include: \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ea focus on theory – ‘explaining’ crime and criminality,\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ean integrative approach,\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eaccessible to readers who do not have a background in psychology. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003ePsychological Criminology\u003c\/em\u003e highlights the contributions that psychological theory can make to the broader field of criminology; it will be of interest to students, academics, researchers and practitioners in both criminology and forensic psychology.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39802463846497,"sku":"9781843928058","price":49.09,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/products\/2db817b3f65cebc82352a236103d9851.jpg?v=1644066363","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781843928058-psychological-criminology","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
