Sommario/riassunto

“An inclusive and informative review of robbery from varied perspectives that will provide a valuable insight to practitioners and scholars.” – Dr. Peter Hall, Senior Lecturer in Forensic Investigations, Coventry University and former Detective Superintendent, Major

Investigation Department, Staffordshire Police “What's great about this book is its comprehensive coverage of the subject; from distal motivational factors through to the minutiae of crime scene behaviour and the dynamics of an individual offence, as well as issues relevant to investigation, policing and prevention.” – Dr. Matthew Tonkin, Associate Professor in Criminology, University of Leicester and co-editor of “Property Crime: Criminological and Psychological Perspectives” “Amy Burrell’s book provides comprehensive and authoritative insight into a previously little understood crime and contemporary criminal justice issue. Summarising central debates, key lines of enquiry and significant research in the area, the book provides a thorough and comprehensive overview of what we know about robbery; the crime, who commits it, who is affected by it, and how it might be addressed.” – Dr. Laura Hammond, Reader in Forensic Psychology and Director of the Crime and Society Research Centre, Birmingham City University, UK “Robbery: The Tipping Point Between Theft and Violence” provides an overview of key research and practice relating to personal robbery in the UK. Chapters include discussions of prevalence, victim impact, and offender motivation. Exciting investigative techniques – behavioural crime linkage and profiling – are introduced with a particular focus on how these might be used to help apprehend robbery offenders. There is also a dedicated chapter on policing and prevention. This book provides a comprehensive, one-stop-shop for readers who want to know more about personal robbery. It will be valuable to students, academic researchers, and practitioners to gain an overview of robbery and what can be done about it. Dr. Amy Burrell has been researching in crime and policing for over 15 years and works as a Research Fellow at the University of Birmingham. Her research interests include personal robbery, behavioural crime linkage, group offending, group decision-making, and violent crime.
