Cover of CRIMINAL LIVES: FAMILY LIFE, EMPLOYMENT, AND OFFENDING

This text examines the history of crime and uses historical data to analyse modern criminological debates. Drawing on criminology, history, and social policy, the book addresses important issues about offenders' persistence in crime, and questions the current theoretical framework used to explain offending patterns.
