Psychosocial Criminology demonstrates how a psychosocial approach can illuminate the
causes of particular crimes, challenging readers to re-think the similarities and
differences between themselves and those involved in crime.

The book critiques existing psychological and sociological theories before outlining
a more adequate understanding of the criminal offender. It sheds new light on
a series of crimes-rape, serial murder, racial harassment, .jack-rolling. (mugging
of drunks), domestic violence-and contemporary criminological issues such as fear of
crime, cognitive-behavioral interventions and restorative justice.
