Major Forms of Crime

Crime and criminal typologies have not lived up to their 'promises', according to Robert Meier, because criminologists have been unable to agree on the 'best' typology. He believes that the time is right to take stock of what he and his colleagues know, and examine the direction in which they are going. Meier has brought articles together that show the great diversity of current criminality. Ten leading specialists write about the type of crime they have studied and researched in depth. The result is a valuable reference book covering subjects like victimization, criminal careers, theories of criminality, social and legal reactions to different crimes, and future research possibilities in criminology.Meier, Robert F. is the author of 'Major Forms of Crime' with ISBN 9780803920958 and ISBN 0803920954.
