内容説明

Aware that special features of Third World crime such as underdevelopment and Dependency are largely ignored in Criminological Literature, the author has adopted a structuralist framework for the explanation of socio-economic, socio-demographic and crime linkages observed during 31/2 decades of crime increase in Jamaica.Identifying Crime Correlates follows simple but rigorously applied statistical procedures which are relevant in situations where data based on official record-keeping are assumed to lack sophistication. Conclusions challenge the general applicability of criminological theories developed for advanced societies.

目次

Contents: This book features (a) the use of de-trending correlation and regression techniques to establish crime correlates (GDP, FPI, AGE, Police) in Jamaica (b) the explanation of discernable linkages in the framework of socio-cultural and situational contengencies. Crimes considered are Shooting, Robbery, Burglary, Total Crime reported.
