Zimring.  aOxford :bOxford University Press,cc2007.  a1 online resource (xi, 258 p.) :bill.1 aStudies in crime and public policy  aIncludes bibliographical references and index.8 aMany theories, from the routine to the bizarre, have been offered to explain the crime decline of the 1990s - record levels of imprisonment, an abatement of the crack cocaine epidemic, more police using better tactics, or even the effects of legalized abortion.

Zimring here takes on the experts, and counters with the first in-depth portrait of the decline and its true significance.  aDescription based on print version record. 0aCrimezUnited StatesxHistoryy20th century. 0aUnited StatesxEconomic conditionsy1981-2001. 0aUnited StatesxSocial conditionsy1980-08iPrint versionz9780195181159 0aStudies in crime and public policy.403Oxford scholarship onlineuhttp://dx.doi.org/10.1093/acprof:oso/9780195181159.001.0001  c36610d36610
