This multidisciplinary volume assembles current findings on
violent crime, behavioral, biological, and sociological
perspectives on its causes, and effective methods of intervention
and prevention. Noted experts across diverse fields apply a
behavioral criminology lens to examine crimes committed by
minors, extremely violent offenses, sexual offending, violence in
families, violence in high-risk settings, and crimes of recent
and emerging interest. The work of mental health practitioners
and researchers is shown informing law enforcement response to
crime in interrogation, investigative analysis, hostage
negotiations, and other core strategies. In addition, chapters
pay special attention to criminal activities that violate
traditional geographic boundaries, from cyberstalking to sex
trafficking to international terrorism.
