The Handbook of Sex Differences is a four-volume reference work
written to assess sex differences, with a primary focus on the
human species. Based on the authors’ highly influential 2008 book
Sex Differences, these volumes highlight important new research
findings from the last decade and a half alongside earlier
findings. In this, the work’s fourth and last volume, two related
questions are addressed: Are there universal sex differences (i.e.,
sex differences found in all societies)? And if the answer is yes,
what are they and how can each one be theoretically explained? To
answer the first of these two questions, this volume condenses much
of the research findings amassed in the book’s first three
volumes into summary tables. Then, to help identify likely
universal sex differences, three versions of social role theory and
two versions of evolutionary theory are examined relative to each
possible universal sex difference. Consideration is even given to
religious scriptures as a sixth type of explanation. In the
concluding analyses, 308 likely universal sex differences are
identified. No single theory was able to explain all these
differences. Nevertheless, the two evolutionary theories were
better in this regard than any of the three social role theories,
including the recently proposed biosocial version of social role
theory. The Handbook of Sex Differences is of importance for any
researcher, student, or professional who requires a comprehensive
resource on sex differences.
The Handbook of Sex Differences is a four-volume reference work
assembled and written to assess sex differences in human traits
(although findings regarding other species are also included).
Based on the authors’ highly influential 2008 book Sex
Differences, these volumes highlight important new research
findings from the last decade and a half alongside earlier
findings. Conclusions reached by meta-analyses are also included.
In this, the work’s first volume, findings from thousands of
studies are summarized regarding basic biology. Results having to
do with sex ratios at birth and traits involving a wide range of
bodily features are reported along with numerous complex aspects of
biochemistry, neurology, and physical health. The eight chapters
comprising Volume I are as follows: 1. Reproduction, Development,
and Morphology 2. Anatomical and Physiological Factors 3. Bodily
Fluids, Biochemicals, and Biochemical Receptors 4. The Brain:
Structure and Functioning 5. Physical Health and Illness 6.
Responses to Physical and Chemical Environmental Factors 7.
Responses to Stress and to Pain 8. Prenatal Factors The Handbook of
Sex Differences is of significant importance for any researcher,

This, the work’s second volume, summarizes results from thousands
of studies pertaining to cognition, broadly defined. Variables
related to perceptual and motor skills, emotions, intellectual
abilities, and mental disorders are among those examined. Even sex
differences in attitudes, beliefs, preferences, and interests are
documented in this volume. The seven chapters comprising Volume II
are as follows: 9. Perceptual Abilities and Motor Functioning 10.
Emotional Factors 11. Cognitive, Academic, and Intellectual Factors
12. Learning, Memory, Knowledge, and Cognitive States 13.
Self-Assessments and States Of Mind 14. Mental Health and Illness

In this, the work’s third volume, findings from thousands of
studies pertaining to behavior, broadly defined, are summarized.
Traits covered include those involving personality, social
behavior, criminality, work, and sex stereotypes. The eight
chapters comprising Volume III are as follows: 16. Personality and
Behavioral Tendencies 17. Social Behavior 18. Acquiring, Selling,
and Consuming Behavior 19. Criminality, Near-Criminality, and
Victimization 20. Education, Work, Social Status, and Territorial
Behavior 21. Sex Stereotypes 22. Attitudes and Actions Toward
Others According to their Sex 23. Ecologically Based Sex
Differences The Handbook of Sex Differences is of significant
importance for any researcher, student, or professional who
requires a comprehensive resource on sex differences.
This volume is the first to aim at summarizing all of the
scientific literature published so far regarding male-female
differences and similarities, not only in behavior, but also in
basic biology, physiology, health, perceptions, emotions, and
attitudes. Results from over 18,000 studies have been condensed
into more than 1,900 tables, with each table pertaining to a
specific possible sex difference. Even research pertaining to how
men and women are perceived (stereotyped) as being different is
covered. Throughout this book's eleven years in preparation, no
exclusions were made in terms of subject areas, cultures, time
periods, or even species. The book is accompanied by downloadable
resources containing all 18,000+ references cited in the book. Sex
Differences is a monumental resource for any researcher, student,
or professional who requires an assessment of the weight of
evidence that currently exists regarding any sex difference of
interest. It is also suitable as a text in graduate courses
pertaining to gender or human sexuality.
The Handbook of Social Status Correlates summarizes findings from
nearly 4000 studies on traits associated with variations in
socioeconomic status. Much of the information is presented in
roughly 300 tables, each one providing a visual snapshot of what
research has indicated regarding how a specific human trait appears
to be correlated with socioeconomic status. The social status
measures utilized and the countries in which each study was
conducted are also identified.
The Handbook of Crime Correlates, Second Edition summarizes more
than a century of worldwide research on traits and social
conditions associated with criminality and antisocial behavior.
Findings are provided in tabular form, enabling readers to
determine at a glance the nature of each association. Within each
table, results are listed by country, type of crime (or other forms
of antisocial behavior), and whether each variable is positively,
negatively, or insignificantly associated with offending behavior.
Criminal behavior is broken down according to major categories,
including violent crime, property crime, drug offenses, sex
offenses, delinquency, and recidivism. This book provides a
resource for practitioners and academics who are interested in
criminal and antisocial behavior. It is relevant to the fields of
criminology/criminal justice, sociology, and psychology. No other
publication provides as much information about how a wide range of
variables-e.g., gender, religion, personality traits, weapons
access, alcohol and drug use, social status, geography, and
seasonality-correlate with offending behavior.

Discover never-before-told details of POW underground operations
during the Vietnam War told through one airman's inspiring story of
true love, honor, and courage. Air Force pilot Captain Carlyle
"Smitty" Harris was shot down over Vietnam on April 4, 1965 and
taken to the infamous Hoa Lo prison--nicknamed the "Hanoi Hilton."
For the next eight years, Smitty and hundreds of other American
POWs--including John McCain and George "Bud" Day--suffered torture,
solitary confinement, and unimaginable abuse. It was there that
Smitty covertly taught many other POWs the Tap Code--an old,
long-unused method of communication from World War II. Using the
code, they could softly tap messages of encouragement to lonely
neighbors and pass along resistance policies from their leaders.
The code quickly became a lifeline during their internment. It
helped the prisoners boost morale, stay unified, communicate the
chain of command, and prevail over a brutal enemy. Meanwhile, back
home in the United States, Harris's wife, Louise, raised their
three children alone, unsure of her husband's fate for seven long
years. One of the first POW wives of the Vietnam War, she became a
role model for other military wives by advocating for herself and
her children in her husband's absence. Told through both Smitty's
and Louise's voices, Tap Code shares the riveting true story of:
Ingenuity under pressure Strength and dignity in the face of a
frightening enemy The hope, faith, and resolve necessary to endure
even the darkest circumstances Praise for Tap Code: "Tap Code is an
incredible story about two American heroes. Col. "Smitty" Harris
and his wife, Louise, epitomize the definition of commitment--to
God, to country, and to family. This tale of extreme perseverance
will restore your faith in the human spirit." --Brigadier General
John Nichols, USAF "The incomprehensibly long ordeal of the Harris
family is agonizing. Their love, faith, loyalty, and courage
epitomize all that is good about America." --Lt. Col. Orson
Swindle, USMC (ret.), POW, Hanoi, 11/11/1966 to 3/4/1973
Over the past two centuries, many aspects of criminal behavior
have been investigated. Finding this information and making sense
of it all is difficult when many studies would appear to offer
contradictory findings. The "Handbook of Crime Correlates "collects
in one source the summary analysis of crime research worldwide. It
provides over 400 tables that divide crime research into nine broad
categories: Pervasiveness and intra-offending relationships
Demographic factors Ecological and macroeconomic factors Family and
peer factors Institutional factors Behavioral and personality
factors Cognitive factors Biological factors Crime victimization
and fear of crime Within these broad categories, tables identify
regions of the world and how separate variables are or are not
positively or negatively associated with criminal behavior.
Criminal behavior is broken down into separate offending categories
of violent crime, property crime, drug offenses, sex offenses,
delinquency, general and adult offenses, and recidivism.
Accompanying each table is a description of what each table
indicates in terms of the positive or negative association of
specific variables with specific types of crime by region. This
book should serve as a valuable resource for criminal justice
personnel and academics in the social and life sciences interested
in criminal behavior.

"I find that Walsh's text is a great value for the price in that it
encompasses a number of criminal justice topics, a strong
theoretical discussion, and dedicates chapters to the integrated
approach of criminology. [It also features] an interdisciplinary
approach that integrates rather than separates the theories [and] a
comprehensive student study site that challenges the student to
move beyond the classroom and textbook."-Erin Conley-Monroe, Harold
Washington College I was impressed after reviewing the table of
contents that Walsh included separate Chapters on Terrorism and
Drugs . . . I felt that Walsh's writing is very sophisticated and
better organized with regards to Chapters than [the competition]. I
really liked how the interdisciplinary approach is explained and
the organization/choice of theories covered.... It addresses
Criminology more at the interdisciplinary approach and explains why
that is important. I [also] find Sage's [student study site at
www.sagepub.com/criminologystudy] to be thorough and easy to
navigate. Walsh is a much better value for the price."-Cathryn
Lavery, Iona College This unique text offers an interdisciplinary
perspective on crime and criminality by integrating the latest
theories, concepts, and research from sociology, psychology, and
biology. Offering a more complete look at the world of criminology
than any other existing text, authors Anthony Walsh and Lee Ellis
first present criminological theory and concepts in their
traditional form and then show how integrating theory and concepts
from the more basic sciences can complement, expand, strengthen,
and add coherence to them. Key Features: Offers students the
opportunity to learn from the "cutting edges" of criminology: This
innovative, interdisciplinary approach introduces students to the
"future" of criminology by offering new and exciting insights. The
book also includes strong sections on crime policy and prevention
that illustrate the practical benefits of understanding theory and
how theories guide policy-makers seeking to prevent and control
crime. Focuses on topics fascinating to students: Chapters on
typologies such as violent crime, serial killers, terrorism, drug
and alcohol addiction, psychopaths, organized crime, and white
collar crime engage students while showing how the theories
presented earlier can be applied. Presents material in a
student-friendly style: Written in an accessible format, the book
features many pedagogical tools such as chapter opening vignettes,
"Focus On" boxes, summary tables of all theories, a unique photo
program, discussion questions, Web-driven exercises, and key terms
Accompanied by High-Quality Ancillaries! Offers audio links to
public radio shows from the NPR and PBS radio archives including
"This American Life," "All Things Considered," "Talk of the
Nation," "Justice Talking," "The Online Newshour," and
"Marketplace" Provides free online video links from the Frontline
PBS which are broken up into segments so they can be shown in
lecture, varying in length from less than 3 minutes to hour long or
more Includes interactive quizzes, e-flashcards and practice
quizzes, 3-5 journal articles per chapter, and much more! Intended
Audience: This core textbook is designed for undergraduate students
studying Introductory Criminology in departments of sociology and
of criminal justice. For only $2.50 more than the textbook alone,
you can adopt Criminology by Walsh and The Concise Dictionary of
Crime and Justice by Davis BUNDLE! Just use ISBN 9781412958950. A
handy reference for students, professionals, and anyone interested
in criminal justice and criminology, The Concise Dictionary of
Crime and Justice is an excellent, wide-ranging resource with clear
definitions for over 2,000 key criminal justice terms. Often going
beyond simple definitions, the dictionary presents and explains
common misperceptions for selected entries.
In nine chapters, contributors explore how genetic, hormonal,
and neurological factors affect the behavior of males and females
within complex environmental settings. Based on the latest
research, the essays theorize about the causes of variation in sex
differences in behavior and related phenomena. Sex differences in
behavior are examined as a cross-species phenomenon and as having
numerous biological as well as environmental determinants.
