Descripción de la solapa

When James Q. Wilson's brilliant and provocative classic "Thinking About Crime" was first published, the conversation around crime had become rigid and polarized even as crime inexorably rose. Wilson transformed the debate with his novel argument that criminal activity is largely shaped by rewards and penalties, and that therefore society's responses to crime must be based on designing payoffs that will minimize criminal activity. Now with a new foreword by the prominent libertarian scholar and best-selling author Charles Murray, the paperback edition of "Thinking About Crime" will introduce a new generation of readers to the theories and ideas that have been so influential in shaping the American criminal justice system.
