The purpose of this book is to present students with recent and important research on criminal behavior. The methodological approach taken is termed "naturalistic", one which allows criminals to discuss their offenses and lifestyles from their own perspective. Having offenders' voices heard along with the researchers' analysis offers students a real life view of what, how, and why various criminals behave the way they do. In short, the field studies conducted by the authors for all the articles in this anthology should provide the reader with a realistic portrayal of just what actual offenders say about crime and their participation in it.
