Criminal Recidivism

Criminal Recidivism: Explanation, prediction and prevention, 1st Edition, investigates persistent criminal careers to address a recognized gap in criminological psychology literature. The volume examines the underlying processes that sustain prolonged offending and shape extended criminal pathways.

The text examines why, how, and across what duration individuals persist in unlawful conduct. It synthesizes established knowledge surrounding risk assessment, explores how psychopathy contributes to ongoing criminal behavior, and evaluates targeted strategies for reducing reoffending.

Serving as a practical psycho-criminological guide, the book combines quantitative research with qualitative offender insights to explain criminal persistence. It equips researchers, policy makers, and legal practitioners with structured approaches to predict recidivism risk and implement effective prevention measures.
