Samen met vijf gerechtspsychiaters kijkt José Masschelin in het hoofd van moordenaars. Wat ging er in hen om op het moment dat ze hun gruweldaad planden en pleegden? Wat was hun motief? Wat vertelde hun misdaad eigenlijk over henzelf? Bestaat dat, een typologie van een moordenaar? En wat is de rol van gerechtspsychiaters? Hoe kijken zij als wetenschappers naar moordenaars en gruweldaden? Wanneer steekt twijfel of emotie de kop op? Slaan ze de bal soms mis? Ze zijn vaak getuige van de donkerste, gewelddadigste symptomen van onze samenleving – welke invloed heeft dat op hun mensbeeld? Kunnen zij daaruit ook een diagnose van de tijdgeest stellen?

The Myth of the 'Crime Decline' seeks to critically interrogate the supposed statistical decline of crime rates, thought to have occurred in a number of predominantly Western countries over the past two decades. Whilst this trend of declining crime rates seems profound, serious questions need to be asked. Data sources need to be critically interrogated and context needs to be provided. This book seeks to do just that. This book examines the wider socio-economic and politico-cultural context within which this decline in crime is said to have occurred, highlighting the changing nature and landscape of crime and its ever deepening resistance to precise measurement. By drawing upon original qualitative research and cutting edge criminological theory, this book offers an alternative view of the reality of crime and harm. In doing so it seeks to reframe the 'crime decline' discourse and provide a more accurate account of this puzzling contemporary phenomenon. Additionally, utilising a new theoretical framework developed by the author, this book begins to explain why the 'crime decline' discourse has been so readily accepted. Written in an accessible yet theoretical and informed manner, this book is a must-read for academics and students in the fields of criminology, sociology, social policy, and the philosophy of social sciences.--

Crime and Everyday Life offers a bold approach to crime theory and crime reduction. Using a clear, engaging, and streamlined writing style, the Sixth Edition illuminates the causes of criminal behavior, showing how crime can affect everyone in both small and large ways. Renowned authors Marcus Felson and Mary Eckert then offer realistic ways to reduce or eliminate crime and criminal behavior in specific settings by removing the opportunity to complete the act. Most importantly, this book teaches students how to think about crime, and then do something about it.
