This book contains essays by nine leading criminologists that seek to answer questions by describing current theories of crime and the research evidence that supports them. These essays seek to link factors at different levels in internally consistent theories of crime. Each essay explores the practical implications of the authors' theoretical work for crime prevention and control.
