Criminal Behaviour in Context

<p>Grounded in criminological spatial analysis, as well as more general social scientific investigations of the role of space and place in contemporary social, economic and cultural life, this book examines why large numbers of prisoners in the US and UK appear to be drawn from – and after release return to – certain urban neighbourhoods. An excellent resource for undergraduates, post graduates and teachers of criminology, as well as human geographers, urban sociologists and professional practitioners involved in rehabilitation and resettlement work with offenders.</p>
