The third edition of this thought-provoking text addresses the
following questions about crime:
* Who are the offenders and victims?
* What are the major motivators of crime?
* Are most offenders specialists or generalists?
* Are most offenders planners or opportunists?
* What are their criminal histories?
* How often are co-offenders involved?
* What are the common features of dangerous places, times, and
situational dynamics?
* How effective are current crime prevention strategies?
Crime Profiles provides a descriptive summary of seven major forms
of crime: homicide and aggravated assault, sexual assault, robbery,
burglary, motor vehicle theft, occupational and organizational
crime, and public order crimes.
The new edition provides an extensive update of the material in
each chapter. Each chapter now includes national crime reports and
national victimization surveys for 2003, the most recently
available data. A new chapter has been added on theories of crime.
New examples are also used to illustrate both change and stability
in the type of situations in which particular crimes occur. Each
chapter focuses on crime definitions, trends in their occurrence,
the offender and victim profiles, situational elements and
circumstances, particular subsets of crime syndromes, prevention,
and intervention strategies.
