Rational Choice and Criminal Behavior - Recent Research and Future Challenges (Hardcover)

Rational Choice and Criminal Behaviour deals with the degree to which criminal behaviour represents a rational choice. This collection of essays by experts in the field of criminal justice examines various aspects of the rational choice framework. The volume answers such questions as how this framework was developed, and how to apply this framework to the study of criminal behaviour. It also covers specific policy approaches that stem from the rational choice framework, an argument that is crucial in the debate over punishment as a deterrent and the role of society in fostering criminal behaviour.
