Walters provides a detailed description of how criminal thinking
serves as a vital link between criminality and crime. Criminality,
the propensity to become involved in criminal activity, and crime,
participation in a specific criminal event, are normally treated as
separate entities. Most criminological theories, in fact, can be
classified as either theories of criminality or theories of crime.
It is the author's contention that criminality and crime are two
sides of the same coin, and that criminal thinking can explain
both. The first of three sections explores the elements of
criminality and crime across biological, social, cognitive, and
developmental forms. The second section integrates the individual
elements into three models using mediation and moderation
methodologies. Two of the models are designed to explain
criminality (moral and control) and the third is designed to
explain crime (decision-making). The final section of the book
emphasizes application and explains that change is a function of
our ability to build competencies in offenders regardless of age.
The result is an integrated approach in which criminality and crime
are viewed as indispensable parts of a larger theory of
criminological development.
