"This book is an extremely welcome and useful effort to move criminology off its baroque methods testing moribund theories. It contains a diverse group of notably innovative authors who clearly demonstrate the range of applications emergent thinking can influence.

"It is vital to explain both the development of potential offenders and the occurrence of criminal events, and how individuals and environments interact to produce crimes. This book bravely addresses these fundamental issues with a new "emergence" theory. and it should be required reading for anyone who is interested in criminological theories."—David Farrington, Criminology, Cambridge University
"This edited volume, geared to crime and criminology scholars, provides an orienting overview of and an invitation to the emergence perspective.
