Everybody Does It! by Thomas Gabor

Gabor's analysis probes the whys and wherefores of crime, and reveals why some people are labeled and processed as criminals while others are not. Case studies raise crucial questions about law enforcement.

'(Gabor) takes on a tough foe, the three-headed dragon of ignorance, arrogance and hypocrisy'

-- Jim Coyle * Hamilton Spectator *

'Everybody Does It! is one of those rare books that deserves the widest possible readership.'

* The Prince George Citizen *

'Everybody Does It! Is richly empirical, effectively building on dozens of research studies of common types of crime... Gabor's thorough account of the various types of common "crime by the public" is useful and thought provoking.'

-- Sidney Littarring * The Canadian Bar Review *

'The author moves beyond the traditional criminological approach of utilizing one theory or playing theories off against each other, choosing instead to combine various facets of a number of different theories so as to provide a more complete explanation of the crime.'

-- Stephen W. Baron * Canadian Review of Sociology and Anthropology *

Thomas Gabor is a professor in the Department of Criminology, University of Ottawa.
