The rational choice perspective developed by Cornish and Clarke in
1986 provides criminologists with a valuable and practical
framework for purposes of crime control and prevention. More than
twenty-five years later, Cognition and Crime pushes the boundaries
of this field of research by bringing together international
leading (or emerging) researchers in this area of script analysis
into a single volume for the first time. It also presents a series
of original contributions on offender decision-making during crime
and crime script analysis as well as offering a critical
perspective of what could be achieved in the future to further help
develop this field of research for prevention purposes. In
addition, each empirical chapter treats a specific and important
form of crime such as stalking violence, drug dealing, human
trafficking for sexual exploitation, child sexual abuse, and
transnational illegal market of endangered species. Academics and
students from various backgrounds, and interested in investigating
and preventing crime, will benefit from this book as it applies
crime script analysis and discusses new and future developments in
regards to this approach and the rational choice perspective. This
volume will be of particular relevance for practitioners such as
police officers and crime investigators.
