The book critiques existing psychological and sociological theories before outlining a more adequate understanding of the criminal offender. It sheds new light on a series of crimes--rape, serial murder, racial harassment, jack-rolling (mugging of drunks), domestic violence--and contemporary criminological issues such as fear of crime, cognitive-behavioral interventions and restorative justice.

For each topic, the theoretical perspective is supported by individual case studies, which are designed to facilitate the understanding of theory and to demonstrate its application to a variety of criminological topics.
