Proactive and reactive criminal thinking, psychological inertia, and the crime continuity conundrum

Author

  • Walters, Glenn D.

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine whether proactive criminal thinking, reactive criminal thinking, or both are responsible for crime continuity by way of psychological inertia. It was hypothesized that reactive but not proactive criminal thinking would account for psychological inertia, the process by which certain cognitive variables link past crime to future crime.
