Description - Violent Offenders by Matt DeLisi

Violent Offenders: Theory, Research, Public Policy and Practice is a collection of original scholarship from an international collection of applied and academic criminologists. The text contains cutting-edge scholarship on the broad category of criminal predators, including homicide offenders, sex offenders, financial predators, and conventional street criminals. Whereas most texts narrowly focus on one type of criminal (e.g., serial killers), Violent Offenders illustrates the systemic importance of predation in antisocial behavior. The numerous case studies throughout the text have been updated to reflect the contemporary and relevant information that students encounter in news and media. The Third Edition also features six new chapters on current highly-debated topics including violent juvenile offenders, sexual offenders, and more. Violent Offenders engages and challenges readers to think critically about the topics.
