Criminal Behavior: A Psychological Approach offers a comprehensive psychological approach to criminal and antisocial behavior. Building on a tradition of excellence, authors Curt and Anne Bartol present an accurate, well-researched introduction to the field. Coming from a psychological perspective, they take a detailed look at crime, what may lead to it and how criminal behavior may be prevented. With a focus on serious crimes, particularly those involving violence, the text offers an all-inclusive overview of criminal behavior through effective and engaging material.
