Challenging the assumptions of those who object to the use of psychology within criminology, this book shows how a methodical approach to the study of criminal behaviour can generate both systematic findings and practical solutions to problems." "McGuire argues for a broader understanding of crime, based on factors such as the individual's cognitive and emotional development, in addition to the influences of socialization, peer groups, and the social and economic environment. He highlights the value of understanding 'pathways' to offending behaviour, and the critical points at which choices are made. Topics include: theoretical and empirical research foundations of 'criminogenic risk factors'; theory turned into practice - the development of offending behaviour programmes; a psychological perspective on some core concepts in criminology: retribution, deterrence and incapacitation; and major practical applications of psychology in policing, prosecution and sentencing."--Jacket
