In the model, once relevant risk factors have been identified, they are organized into triads --three-variable networks of antecedent, mediating, or moderating effects--and then those triads are combined into clusters of thematically related constructs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhile debate continues to rage over how to handle the burgeoning number of theories in criminology, little significant progress has been made in reducing the number of criminological theories. This book argues that theoretical integration is vital to the continued viability of criminological theory and to the growth and development of criminology as a scientific discipline. It posits that criminal thinking may be useful as a core variable in constructing a useful integrated theory for criminology, and maps out a plan for scholars to organize information for further study. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe innovative theoretical approach in this book is essential reading for students, academics, and researchers in both criminology and forensic psychology concerned with the reduction of crime via scientific inquiry.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Glenn D.
