Description

Crime is often portrayed in the media as more violent and disturbing than it actually is. In reality, most crime is not violent or morbid, and offenders are not typically psychopaths. This book sets out to dispel some of the common myths surrounding crime and criminal behaviour, providing up-to-date knowledge on the subject. It explores how psychological methods can help us understand criminal behaviour and informs the development of targeted interventions based on this understanding. The book is essential reading for students studying the psychology of crime, as well as practitioners and policy-makers who need to know about the complex relationship between psychology and crime. By examining the latest research and knowledge in the field, Pakes and Winstone's Psychology and Crime offers a valuable insight into the ways that psychological methods can be used to tackle offending behaviour.
