For thirty-five years, the 'Crime and Justice' series has provided a platform for the work of sociologists, pyschologists, criminal lawyers, justice scholars, and political scientists as it explores the full range of issues concerning crime, its causes, and its remedies. The essays in this forty-third volume of the series document the common rises and falls in crime and look at possible explanations, including changes.
