{"product_id":"the-psychology-of-criminal-conduct-theory-research-and-practice","title":"The Psychology of Criminal Conduct: Theory  Research and Practice","description":"\u003cp\u003eTaken from published reviews: \" Dr Blackburn has written a remarkably good book; indeed  the best book on the topic from either side of the Atlantic I have read. the breadth of the author s knowledge is nothing short of encyclopaedic. 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\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44957429334069,"sku":"ByrdShop_0471961752","price":49.72,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780471961758.jpg?v=1770327976","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-psychology-of-criminal-conduct-theory-research-and-practice","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
