520    "This book explores the various trends in public opinion 
       that influence crime prevention efforts, create public 
       policy, and reform criminal law. It discusses three core 
       issues: the role of free will and determination; the 
       search for the root cause or causes of crime; and the 
       effects of studying crimes versus studying criminals"--
