Crime and Nature, written by the always innovative and original
Marcus Felson, is the first text to provide students with a unique,
new perspective for thinking about crime and how modern society can
reduce crime's ecosystem and limit its diversity. Key Features
Connects crime to its larger world: This innovative book shows how
crime draws from the larger ecosystem, that is, how offenders hunt
for targets and how they depend on one another. Extending crime
ecology well beyond other works, this book shows how to help shut
off crime opportunities and reduce crime in local areas. An
examination of how people defend against crime is also provided.
Stimulates critical thinking about crime: Crime feeds off of legal
activities, both shady and legitimate. Through a wealth of
examples, ranging from racketeering to juvenile street gangs, this
book shows criminology students what to look for and how to sort it
out. The author uses recent empirical studies to validate the
principles presented and draws from a wealth of experience in other
fields, always keeping an eye on what every criminologist needs to
know. Presents intriguing, useful information in an engaging and
unique style: Writing in a warm and personal voice, the author uses
an engaging, student-friendly style to build a sophisticated view
of crime in small, sure steps. Down-to-earth ideas and examples are
presented through concise exhibits. Intended Audience This is an
excellent supplementary text for a variety of undergraduate courses
in criminology and criminal justice, including Criminological
Theory, Crime Control and Prevention, Introduction to Criminology,
Law and Society, and Social Problems. It will have a lasting impact
on present and future criminologists.
