| Abstract | "Sociologist Robert J. Sampson's influential research redefines how we view crime and youth outcomes in the Unites States. By shifting the focus from individual and family traits to generational change and social character, he reveals the flaws in our assumptions about life trajectories and advocates for a fresh approach to social policy." -- Provided by publisher. |
