  Criminals on Crime: A Review of Research on Offender Decision-Making

  This webinar will review academic research on offender decision-making. Dozens of studies have been conducted over time using interview methods to collect qualitative data from offenders. The results of these studies will be presented in a format designed to provide useful practical information for analysts. Both property crimes and violent crimes will be discussed, as well as interview data from offenders in the field and those who were incarcerated at the time of the studies. Come hear from the bad guys on how to choose which house to hit, which weapons to carry, and which methods will keep you from getting caught (at least in theory…).
