Summary:Reviews the book, Behavioral Approaches to Crime and Delinquency: A Handbook of Application, Research, and Concepts edited by Edward K. Morris and Curtis J. Braukmann (see record 1988-97265-000). The quality of this appropriately subtitled Handbook of Application, Research, and Concepts is excellent. Its 22 chapters consistently reflect methodological sophistication in fair put parsimonious evaluations of relevant research, awareness of both historical context and contemporary issues, and a serious effort to emphasize the relevance of research findings to application concerns. In summary, this is a valuable book, clearly and critically organizing and evaluating a wealth of material in a manner of substantial utility for research and practitioner alike.
