New features also include:Expansive coverage of the development of criminal behaviour;Chapter summaries and end-of-chapter discussion points;Text boxes throughout highlighting key issues, debates and brief histories;Supplementary online resources at www.routledge.com/cw/hollin.Psychology and Crime is an essential introduction and reference for undergraduate and postgraduate students in psychology, criminology, sociology and related subjects.
