Walters1st ed. 2017.Cham :Springer International Publishing :Imprint: Palgrave Macmillan,2017.1 online resource (XVI, 301 p. 24 illus.) Palgrave's Frontiers in Criminology Theory3-319-57770-0 Includes bibliographical references and index.This book offers Walters's latest evolution of criminal lifestyle theory. It introduces the concept of criminal thought content to illustrate how the potential interplay between what offenders think and their thought processes can greatly aid our understanding of both crime and criminals. In this new study on criminal behaviour, Walters calls for criminological theory to be placed within a broader scientific context, and provides us with several key models which embrace constructs from numerous important theories including: the general theory of crime, social cognitive and social learning theories, general strain theory, psychopathic personality theories of crime, and labelling theory. Another unique aspect of this work is that it places lifestyle theory within a larger scientific framework, namely, nonlinear dynamical systems theory or chaos. Seven principles from chaos theory are used to explain relationships and processes central to lifestyle theory and Walters uses this to draw conclusions on what affects criminal decision-making and desistance from crime. Highly original and innovative in scope, this book will be useful to practitioners and scholars of criminal justice alike, with chapters focussed on decision-making, assessment, and intervention.Palgrave's Frontiers in Criminology TheoryCriminologyCritical criminologyCriminal behaviorCriminals—RehabilitationPersonalitySocial psychologyCriminological Theoryhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/1B6000Critical Criminologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/1B1000Criminal Behaviorhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/1BG000Rehabilitationhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/1B9020Personality and Social Psychologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Y20050Criminology.Critical criminology.Criminal behavior.Criminals—Rehabilitation.Personality.Social psychology.Criminological Theory.Critical Criminology.Criminal Behavior.Rehabilitation.Personality and Social Psychology.364.3Walters Glenn Dauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut939925BOOK9910255267703321Modelling the Criminal Lifestyle 2119177UNINA
