  • Taylor & Francis Ltd Psychological Criminology

    Price: £35.99

    Brand: Taylor & Francis Ltd

     

    Description: Psychological Criminology explores what is it about individuals and their experiences that causes them to commit crime and/or to become criminal. Fully updated to include the latest theories and research, this new edition provides comprehensive coverage of psychological theories of crime and criminality. It arranges theories in temporal sequence, from distal to proximal causes of crime, and is organised under three key headings:theories that focus on factors present at birth (human nature, heredity);theories that focus on factors that influence the offender over the lifespan (learning and development);theories that focus on factors present at the crime scene. The book emphasises the connections among the different approaches, and demonstrates how, taken together rather than as rival explanations, they provide a more complete picture of crime and criminality. Psychological Criminology highlights the contributions that psychological theory can make to the broader field of criminology. It is essential reading for students, academics, researchers, and practitioners in both criminology and forensic psychology.

  • Bristol University Press Redemptive Criminology

    Price: £21.99

    Brand: Bristol University Press

     

    Description: Drawing on criminology, philosophy and theology, this book develops a theory of 'redemptive criminology' for practice in criminal justice settings. The therapeutic impulse for the text is a focus on the individual practitioner's ability to embrace difference with the other, to resist harsh penal measures and to bring about change from 'the bottom up'. By challenging concepts and practices of rehabilitation, the authors argue for the possibility of redemption and for forgiveness as the starting point. Using real-life examples and an interpretative approach, the book explores the connections between victims, perpetrators and the community. The text articulates challenges for the justice system and offers new insights into punishment and retribution.
