(2004) “A multivariate model of stalking behaviours.” Behaviormetrika, 31.2: 1–18.Canter has led the way in showing how personal and societal mechanisms interact to influence particular patterns of offending, opening up new and focused aetiological perspectives that account for detailed differences in the manifestations of criminality.
