An Analysis of Michael R. Gottfredson and Travish Hirschi's A General Theory of Crime

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

In their 1990 work, Gottfredson and Hirschi introduce a new and comprehensive theory of crime. At the time, crime researchers tended to focus on environmental factors that led to crime, not on the criminals themselves, and were inclined to think about crime only from their particular academic perspective. Ideas about what caused crime, and how to prevent it, were often in conflict.
