Sommario/riassunto

This title presents a history of the self-report crime survey as a method of criminological inquiry, describing how, during the 1930s and 1940s, a handful of US and European criminologists discovered the method, thus providing researchers with a powerful analytical tool and changing the way crime itself was seen.
