Psychological Criminology by Richard Wortley
The book provides a comprehensive coverage of psychological theories of crime and criminality, emphasizing the connections among approaches, and to show how, taken together, they provide a more complete picture of crime and criminality.Richard Wortley’s book is scholarly and lucid, wide-ranging in content, and undogmatic in toneMost of all, it is timely. The need to bring together in an accessible form crime and criminality-relevant developments across the biological and psychological sciences had become urgent. The need is satisfied by this book. – Professor Ken Pease, Loughborough University

It is a very impressive, comprehensive and empirically-based review of psychological, biological, situational and other major explanations of crime. – David P. Farrington, Professor of Psychological Criminology, University of Cambridge
