About this product

Product Information

This book describes various types and sources of crime and explanatory data available to study variation in crime across nations. Problems with the data and appropriate methods for adjusting and analyzing the data are described. A thorough review of theories and past cross-national crime research is included. This book intends to facilitate and stimulate quality cross-national crime research. The book notes past misuse of data, such as using homicide rates unadjusted for attempts, as well as inconsistencies and contradictions in past research. The major theories and concepts which have been used to explain crime across nations are described in detail and critiqued. Inconsistencies and contradictions in results are noted, and avenues for future research are offered. Methodological techniques, issues, and problems involved in analysis are also presented and new approaches to dealing with the resulting data are projected. Extensive appendixes give information and contacts to researchers, providing a network for research in cross-national crime heretofore lacking.

"Jerome Neapolitan presents a comprehensive, yet concise, review of the major theoretical and methodological issues involving cross-national crime research....For both starters and seasoned researchers engaged in cross-national criminological studies, Neapolitan's book is a comprehensive, insightful guide. I am particularly impressed with the wide coverage of the book. The addresses, telephone numbers, and web sites documented in the Appendix section are extremely helpful for the readers who intend to pursue further information. This book must have commanded a good quality of time to compose; it has, after all, turned out to be a worthy effort on the author's part. ^ICross-National Crime^R is indeed a most timely and valuable guide-book for comparative criminologists. It is strongly recommended to everyone who has an interest in conducting or learning about cross-national criminological research." -- Journal of Contemporary Criminal Justice, "Jerome Neapolitan presents a comprehensive, yet concise, review of the major theoretical and methodological issues involving cross-national crime research....For both starters and seasoned researchers engaged in cross-national criminological studies, Neapolitan's book is a comprehensive, insightful guide.
