Male Prisoners of Karnataka: An Outline with Social Work Perspectives, (Paperback)

The causes of crime are one of the important phases of the crime issues that require more discussion, investigation and research and call for more social and government action. The traditional approach to causation of crime in U.S.A. has been the socio-economic. Yet many countries of the world notably those on the European continent and in Latin America, have insisted that biological and constitutional factors are more influential in eliciting criminal behaviour. The geographical determinists have maintained that the weather, the seasons, topography, humidity etc. are important factors to explain why people behave as they do.
