Crime and Social Deviance

Theory and Practice

Edited by: Moshe Adad, Yuval Wolfe
Can Criminology as we know it today be regarded as a scientific discipline in its own right? This question is raised in the introduction to this collection of articles, which encompass the central issues in Criminology from a broad perspective of diverse scientific disciplines, and attempt to propose solutions for the prevention of crime. Among the subjects examined are: organized crime, community policing, moral judgment, measurement of delinquency and study of different aspects relevant to special population groups such as delinquent youth and prisoners.
