Crime and Everyday Life

Front Cover
Marcus Felson
3 Reviews
SAGE, Jan 28, 2002 - Social Science - 211 pages

Previous editions of Crime and Everyday Life have been popular with students and instructors for Felson’s clear, concise writing style and his unique approach to crime causation. The Third Edition has been thoroughly revised and updated throughout, and includes, among other changes, new chapters on white-collar crime and the use of technology in crime control. By emphasizing that routine everyday activities set the stage for illegal activities (i.e. stolen goods sold in a legal business setting), Felson challenges the conventional wisdom and offers a unique perspective and novel solutions for reducing crime. Students in introductory criminology and criminal justice courses will discover that simple and inexpensive changes in the physical environment and patterns of everyday activity can often produce substantial decreases in crime rates. Insightful, yet fun to read, this new edition of Crime and Everyday Life is sure to provoke students to look at the causes and control of crime with a fresh perspective...and renewed hope.

Review: Crime and Everyday Life

User Review  - Hannah - Goodreads

For my dissertation next year, Chapter 6 will be most useful: When Crime Feeds Crime. Probably wise to invest in this book when it's possible. Read full review
