What are the common features of dangerous places, times, and situational dynamics? How effective are current crime prevention strategies? Crime Profiles provides a descriptive summary of seven major forms of crime: Homicide and Aggravated Assault Sexual Assault Robbery Burglary Motor-Vehicle Theft Occupational and Organizational Crime Public-Order Crimes The Second Edition updates all national data to develop current profiles of each crime based on characteristics of the offender, the victim, and the situational context. Comparisons within and between crime profiles illustrate similarities and differences in criminal behavior.
