| Abstract | Franklin E. Zimring is the William G. Simon Professor of Law and Wolfen Distinguished Scholar at the University of California, Berkley. His most recent works include Crime is Not the Problem: Violence in America (with Hawkins, 1997), American Youth Violence (1998), and The Contradictions of American Capital Punishment (2003). In his latest book, The Great American Crime Decline (2007), Zimring addresses the academic community, and attempts to inspire a more ardent pursuit of interdisciplinary, empirical research to better understand the crime decline of the 1990’s and crime trends in general. Nevertheless, every reader can gain important insights into crime trends from this book, which refutes many of the traditional explanations for changes in crime rates. |
