- Summary:
- This startling new look at crime and violence in America reveals that America's rate of nonviolent crime (burglary, theft) is comparable to other industrial nations--but its rate of lethal violence far outpaces other nations. Zimring and Hawkins reshape the debate about crime in the U.S., throwing sharp new light on old questions and suggesting new directions for public policy. 46 figures.
