"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. Anyone who is a serious scholar of crime should read it."—John Eck, Criminal Justice, University of Cincinnati "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. Chapters highlight ways the framework builds upon but also extends interactionist, situational and transactional frameworks. The work provides a valuable alternative to current person-based and place-based crime meta-models."—Ralph B. Taylor, Criminal Justice, Temple University"When Crime Appears is an important book that pushes criminologists to look deeper into the causal patterns underlying crime and criminality."—David L. Weisburd, Criminology, Law and Society, George Mason University
