Not only psychology developmental and social, as well as clinical but also psychiatry, biology, philosophy, and law are addressed in this volume. Finally, the book is written with clarity, economy, and a lucid style. It is as inviting and user-friendly as any work of such complexity can be. I hope that it will find its way into psychiatry residency training programmes as well. It could do wonders for replacing turf-battles with common ground.\" Criminal Behaviour \u0026amp; Mental Health \" The scholarly breadth and accuracy of this work are remarkable. There seems to be no important contribution to our psychological understanding of crime which Blackburn has omitted to discuss, including those approaches from sociological and social psychology which are frequently neglected in straightforward psychological treatments. Moreover, all approaches are intelligently and sympathetically discussed.\" Expert Evidence \" The volume is infused with the author s enthusiasm for a social cognitive perspective on offending behaviour, but he also robustly defends the utility of the notion of personality traits. Overall, this book brings together a vast array of research and theory examined from the perspective of the clinician involved with the individual. It will almost certainly become the key background text for post-graduate courses teaching forensic psychology and would be a valuable addition to the bookshelf of any clinician with forensic concerns.\" Clinical Psychology Forum \" This is undoubtedly an important book. The end result is a book of excellent quality, which I recommend most warmly to clinical psychologists, and indeed, to anybody who is interested in criminological psychology .\" Behaviour Research and Therapy \" This author is to be congratulated for having produced this impressive volume. It provides a comprehensive review which is critical yet well-balanced. It assumes no prior familiarity with the field, and specialists from many different disciplines will learn a great deal from it.\" Criminal Law Review  Crime, Criminology, and Psychology.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The Measurement and Distribution of Crime.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Social and Environmental Theories of Crime.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Biological Correlates of Antisocial Behaviour.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Familial and Social Correlates of Crime.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Personal Attributes of Offenders.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Aggression and Violent Crime.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Crime and Mental Disorder.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Sexual Deviation and Sexual Offending.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Forensic Psychology and the Offender.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Psychological Interventions with Offenders.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Treatment of Dangerous Offenders.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The Effectiveness and Ethics of Intervention.  \u003cp\u003eRonald Blackburn is the author of The Psychology of Criminal Conduct: Theory, Research and Practice, published by Wiley.
