Description

Explore the complex history of American street crime through this scholarly analysis. In the last fifty years, street crime rates in the United States have seen an eightfold increase. This book examines how these increases were patterned, often occurring with rapid speed, and why they had a disproportionate impact on African American communities. Gary LaFree provides a deep look into the crime explosion that took place largely within a ten-year window starting in the early 1960s. Rather than relying on common explanations like biological impulses or psychological drives, this work uses unique data spanning half a century to investigate the timing and nature of these societal changes. It offers a rigorous look at how social institutions have been affected by these shifts in crime rates. This text is a valuable resource for those studying the sociology of crime and the changing landscape of American society.
