The problems associated with groups that commit crime are well
known and notoriously complex. However, there are many questions
that we still cannot answer with certainty. This book seeks to
deepen understanding of the group processes involved in crime and
the treatment of offenders' thoughts and behaviour. Together, the
chapters in this volume address the following questions: Are people
more likely to commit crime because of the influence of their
group? Does group membership cause people to become criminals, or
does the group merely foster people's pre-existing criminal
inclinations? How does group membership exert such a strong hold on
people so that some risk imprisonment or even death, rather than
relinquish their membership? The contributors to Crime and Crime
Reduction consider the social psychological influences of groups
and specific forms of group crime such as street and prison gangs,
terrorism, organized criminal networks, and group sexual offending.
The book also addresses important questions about the role of
groups in treating offenders, and why existing group membership
should be considered when treating offenders. Group criminal
activity is a key area of study for researchers and for students of
Forensic Psychology and Criminology courses. This book will
therefore be of interest to students, scholars, and law enforcement
practitioners who want to understand the group processes involved
in crime and its reduction.
