Abstract

In Chap. 10 of this book future directions for criminal lifestyle theory and research are discussed. Some of the future directions for research include the need for statistical models to complement the largely conceptual approach lifestyle theory takes with nonlinear dynamical systems theory, the need for continued integration and cross-fostering of theory and research methods, and the need for research from investigators outside the original author of lifestyle theory.
