Publisher Description: Human Development and Criminal Behavior proposes an exten- sive agenda for crime research. The book is part of a pio- neering effort to understand the causes of crime, particu- larly its developmental course.

This work offers a blueprint for research to eluci- date and possibly prevent crime in our society. |
