Our understanding of criminal behaviour and its causes has been too long damaged by the failure to integrate the emotional, psychological, social and cultural influences on the way people behave. This book offers a concise and accessible introduction to criminal behaviour, examining and integrating perspectives from criminology and psychology. It explores a range of 'psycho-social' approaches that seek to understand the emotions that surround criminal behaviour, allowing for an exploration of individual differences and social and culture issues which help to bridge the gap between disciplinary approaches.
