"The book entitled "Theories and Causes of Crimes" is a product of intensive research of the author from several books, compilations and electronic sources. The making of this material involved so many authors of the literature which he used as part of his references in completing this handbook. The book provides an overview of some of the key criminological theories that seek to explain the causes of crime; it is by no means an exhaustive list. Each of the theories covered has its own strength and weaknesses, has gaps and may only be applicable to certain types of crime, and not others. There is no 'right' or 'wrong' theory." --[From the Author]
