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.
