Crime is an expensive aspect of society, and each year huge amounts
of public money are spent on the courts, police, probation
services, and prisons, while the human costs in terms of pain, fear
and loss is incalculable. Psychology and Crime comprehensively
covers the vital role of psychological theories and methods in
understanding and managing criminal behaviour. It analyzes in depth
the application of psychological findings to a range of serious
crimes, such as arson, violent crime, and sexual crime. It examines
the use of psychology by the police and the courts and discusses
the role of psychology in crime reduction strategies. Written by a
leading authority on the subject and informed by over twenty years
of teaching experience, the second edition of this popular text has
been thoroughly revised and updated to take account of the most
recent research in the field. New features also include: Expansive
coverage of the development of criminal behaviour; Chapter
summaries and end-of-chapter discussion points; Text boxes
throughout highlighting key issues, debates and brief histories;
Supplementary online resources at www.routledge.com/cw/hollin.
Psychology and Crime is an essential introduction and reference for
undergraduate and postgraduate students in psychology, criminology,
sociology and related subjects. It also represents an invaluable
resource for professional training courses and anyone planning a
career in the criminal justice system.
