This innovative collection of original essays showcases the use of social networks in the analysis and understanding of various forms of crime. More than any other past research endeavor, the seventeen chapters in this book apply to criminology the many conceptual and methodological options from social network analysis.
Crime and Networks is the only book of its kind that looks at the use of networks in understanding crime, and can be used for advanced undergraduate and beginner's graduate level courses in criminal justice and criminology.
"This edited volume of social network research in criminology has been a long time coming within social network analysis (SNA)?the book is complete enough to share a curriculum around crime networks, either as a special topics course in a generalist sociology department or as a core course within a criminology/criminal justice degree program. As a resource book, it is priceless, not only for the thoroughness of topics, but also for the invaluable bibliographies included in each entry?Highly recommended." - CHOICE
