Criminal Actions and Social Situations

Más información sobre el libro

Focusing on the complexities of intentional action and responsibility, this book challenges traditional views of groups in criminology, emphasizing the nuanced nature of group dynamics. It critiques the simplistic understanding of group membership and explores the transient nature of many associations. By distinguishing between "criminal" groups with loose connections and strong intent versus criminogenic groups with strong ties and weak intent, it raises critical implications for joint criminal enterprise and gang-related charges. This timely analysis is valuable for academics, legal professionals, and social workers.
