Communicating Ideas

Více o knize

The book introduces two innovative criminological approaches: Routine Activity, which focuses on the circumstances of criminal events without delving into offender psychology, and Rational Choice, which views crime as a strategic decision to fulfill basic needs like money and status. These frameworks are applied to various crimes, including drunk driving and political violence, while also contrasting with traditional crime theories. The volume features contributions from notable scholars, promoting theoretical development and the exchange of ideas in criminology.
