Criminal Behavior
Crime Statistics suggest that Americans are not a notably law-abiding people. With some 13 million felonies reported every year, it is not surprising that few topics engage public attention and imagination more compellingly than the dynamics of criminal behavior. Volume and ubiquity alone might suggest the psychology of criminal behavior is well understood and there exists an integrated body of explanatory theory and empirical evidence. But in fact only fragmentary and incomplete accounts have thus far appeared.

The Martin Presence
Jean Martin was a pioneer of sociology, inventing a version of the discipline that was uniquely suited to Australia in the post-war period. Jean Isobel Martin (1923–79) made herself a sociologist before the discipline was established in Australia. Regarded as a founder of Australian sociology, her writing, teaching and policy helped shape Australia in the period of economic growth and social development that followed World War II. The Martin Presence is a biography that examines her life and her work across the concerns of the time – the needs of country towns, the factory work floor, families and urban structure, poverty and inequality, education and immigration – and explores her far-reaching influence on the social sciences in Australia.

Cannabis and Childhood Development
This book highlights empirical evidence on the impact of cannabis on childhood development, from infancy up to young adulthood. With the global movement of more relaxed policies and attitudes towards cannabis use, it is important to understand the risks associated with cannabis on youth development. Bridging the gap between knowledge communications and research literature, this volume translates scientific evidence to highlight the consequences of cannabis exposure on young people’s lives. Based on academic research literature, it summarizes and critically analyses a large body of scientific evidence to evaluate developmental outcomes from birth to young adulthood on physical, social, and mental health. It will appeal to students and academics, as well as policy makers, psychologists, medical professionals, and epidemiologists in the broader academic community with an interest in the topic.
