Benjamin Steiner and John Wooldredge

Journal of Criminal Justice, 2015, vol. 43, issue 3, 175-185

Abstract: Sampson and Wilson (1995) argued that the sources of crime are invariant across race, and are instead rooted in the structural differences between communities. This study involved an examination of the applicability of this thesis to incarcerated individuals.
