As crime rates inexorably rose during the tumultuous years of the 1970s, disputes over how to handle the violence sweeping the nation quickly escalated. James Q.

Now with a new foreword by the prominent scholar and best-selling author Charles Murray, this revised edition ofThinking About Crime introduces a new generation of readers to the theories and ideas that have been so influential in shaping the American justice system.
