Publisher Description:
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.
