"In this text we focus on criminal behavior and antisocial behavior (because antisocial behavior is not always criminal) from a psychological perspective. More specifically, adults and juveniles who violate the law or who act antisocially are portrayed as embedded in and continually influenced by multiple systems within the psychosocial environment. Meaningful theory, well executed research, and skillful application of knowledge to the "crime problem" require an understanding of the many levels of events that influence a person's life course-from the individual to the individual's family, peers, schools, neighborhoods, community, culture, and society as a whole"--
