Offender Decision Making and Script Analyses
Redaktion: Leclerc, Benoit; Wortley, Richard

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

The rational choice perspective developed by Cornish and Clarke in 1986 provides criminologists with a valuable and practical framework for purposes of crime control and prevention. More than twenty-five years later, Cognition and Crime pushes the boundaries of this field of research by bringing together international leading (or emerging) researchers in this area of script analysis into a single volume for the first time.
