What belief systems are these choices based on? The Criminal Lifestyle approaches these questions by examining how various biological, sociological and psychological factors interact to bring about criminal behaviour. Walters develops a model of crime as a lifestyle and shows that this concept is historically, cross-nationally and empirically valid. This groundbreaking book will be of interest to psychologists and sociologists as well as criminologists.Criminal behaviorCriminal behaviorUnited StatesCase studiesElectronic books.Criminal behavior.Criminal behavior364.3Walters Glenn D939925StDuBDSStDuBDSBOOK9910481041903321The criminal lifestyle2463655UNINA
