In these essays, which assess the policy implications of recent theories of crime, the central issue addressed is the question of where contemporary theory leads open-minded policy-makers who are seeking to construct effective new strategies. Evaluating their own and others' work, the contributors present specific policy recommendations based on their analyses. Although the book focuses on the policy implications of theories which have a broad scope, or which integrate different perspectives, it concludes with chapters that contemplate theory and policy as applied to specific areas of criminal activity.
