The Psychology of Criminal and Antisocial Behavior: Victim and
Offenders Perspectives is not just another formulaic book on
forensic psychology. Rather, it opens up new areas of enquiry to
busy practitioners and academics alike, exploring topics using a
practical approach to social deviance that is underpinned by
frontier research findings, policy, and international trends. From
the relationship between psychopathology and crime, and the
characteristics of catathymia, compulsive homicide, sadistic
violence, and homicide victimology, to adult sexual grooming,
domestic violence, and honor killings, experts in the field provide
insight into the areas of homicide, violent crime, and sexual
predation. In all, more than 20 internationally recognized experts
in their fields explore these and other topic, also including
discussing youth offending, love scams, the psychology of hate,
public threat assessment, querulence, stalking, arson, and cults.
This edited work is an essential reference for academics and
practitioners working in any capacity that intersects with
offenders and victims of crime, public policy, and roles involving
the assessment, mitigation, and investigation of criminal and
antisocial behavior. It is particularly ideal for those working in
criminology, psychology, law and law enforcement, public policy,
and for social science students seeking to explore the nature and
character of criminal social deviance.
