Product Description

Review

"Feldman's focus on the cognitive-behavioral approach makes for interesting and informative reading, and will engage those who do not share his position, such as this reviewer, with challenging analyses of the weakness of psychotherapy in modifying the offender's behavior." Philip Bonifacio, International Journal of Offender Therapy and Comparative Criminology


Product Description

What is criminal behaviour? How is it identified? What is the role of the police and the courts? What is the evidence for hopes of controlling and changing criminal behavior? This book represents the systematic application of contemporary psychology to the study of crime, from biological factors, through child development to social learning. Feldman's work includes systematic contributions from sociology. The breadth of coverage and the firm base in psychology are unique in the current literature. It will appeal as a systematic text in criminal behavior and in the criminal justice system for both undergraduate and postgraduate courses, across the social sciences.

Inside This Book (Learn More)
First Sentence
This chapter, the first of four on the criminal justice system, falls into two sections: the first gives a qualitative description of the major groups of crime, from the Index offenses to political crimes, concluding with a brief historical overview; the second is quantitative, setting out the methods used to measure the total volume of crime and the results obtained - which must be treated with caution. Read the first page

5.0 out of 5 stars Changing theory on crime and punishment, 17 May 2002
By A Customer
Recommended to those who seek to have a deeper theoretical understanding of the criminal justice system. This includes the psychological, sociological and biological explanations of offenders and criminal activities. This book also examines the principles underpinning punishment and the processess of criminal justice, and from an historical perspective; how criminality is currently understood. This includes examination of the penal system and changes in prisons, policing and treatment of offenders.
