Finding this information and making sense of it all is difficult when many studies would appear to offer contradictory findings. The \u003ci\u003eHandbook of Crime Correlates\u003c\/i\u003e collects in one source the summary analysis of crime research worldwide. It provides over 400 tables that divide crime research into nine broad categories:\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePervasiveness and intra-offending relationships \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDemographic factors \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEcological and macroeconomic factors \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFamily and peer factors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInstitutional factors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBehavioral and personality factors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCognitive factors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBiological factors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCrime victimization and fear of crime\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eWithin these broad categories, tables identify regions of the world and how separate variables are or are not positively or negatively associated with criminal behavior. Criminal behavior is broken down into separate offending categories of violent crime, property crime, drug offenses, sex offenses, delinquency, general and adult offenses, and recidivism. Accompanying each table is a description of what each table indicates in terms of the positive or negative association of specific variables with specific types of crime by region.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book should serve as a valuable resource for criminal justice personnel and academics in the social and life sciences interested in criminal behavior.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Elsevier Science","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47119619457264,"sku":"9780080920092","price":80.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780080920092_p0.jpg?v=1763638778","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780080920092","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
