| Summary: | "This book provides a remarkably broad assessment of the full spectrum of criminal career patterns applied across a wider cross section of population than was ever previously analyzed. The data, unparalleled in size and quality, allows powerful analyses of criminal behavior, even among relatively small demographic subgroups. Kyvsgaard is thus able to make solid assessments of offending patterns for males and females, juveniles and middle-aged adults, and employed and unemployed individuals. Furthermore, she examines the empirical evidence of the effects of deterrence and incapacitation. Her findings suggest rehabilitation as an alternative worthy of further research."--BOOK JACKET. |
