This volume will fit well with courses in psychology, sociology, and criminology: it contains articles on crime, prisons, creativity, birth order, AIDS education, and related chapters. Many of the findings are nonobvious, in that most people (including scholars) would not be aware of them. This is partly due to the author's inside knowledge from having worked in a prison treatment program as well as being a researcher/professor in universities. Detailed explanations are given for the basis of juvenile delinquency, what prisons are really like, how birth order and gender interact with regard to creativity (first born males and later born females score highest in creativity), and how the criminal justice system, contrary to what we would expect, typically does not imprison convicted felons. Other findings provide a view which will be of interest to scholars in psychology, sociology, and criminal justice.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Great insights from the world of psychology.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Studies in Personality, Social and Clinical Psychology (Paperback)
This is a terrific book. It gives interesting and usable insights about a variety of psychological issues, including crime, creativity, etc. The book has the knack of showing the truth about things in ways that have often been missed by others. Read it! It is not difficult to read for a person with college education or for an intelligent non-college educated person. But, advanced scholars will also find much insight. It covers many important areas and gives good insights. One of the best books in psychology that I have ever read.
