First multi-year cumulation covers six years: 1965-70.
First Published in 1986. This book has two basic goals. The first goal is to present how information is formed, used, channelled, and delivered in a number of different contexts and systems with varying impacts. The second goal is to present these diverse applications within one framework so that there is continuity between the different subjects and chapters. The framework is behavioral systems, and so this book is also an attempt to further evolve and show the viability of this framework.

Integration of disciplines, theories and research orientations has assumed a central role in criminological discourse yet it remains difficult to identify any concrete discoveries or significant breakthroughs for which integration has been responsible. Concentrating on three key concepts: context, mechanisms, and development, this volume aims to advance integrated scientific knowledge on crime causation by bringing together different scholarly approaches. Through an analysis of the roles of behavioural contexts and individual differences in crime causation, The Explanation of Crime seeks to provide a unified and focused approach to the integration of knowledge. Chapter topics range from individual genetics to family environments and from ecological behaviour settings to the macro-level context of communities and social systems. This is a comprehensive treatment of the problem of crime causation that will appeal to graduate students and researchers in criminology and be of great interest to policy-makers and practitioners in crime policy and prevention.
