Intergenerational transmission of criminal and violent<br />

behaviour<br />

Sytske Besemer (Author)<br />

This dissertation investigates mechanisms that might explain why children<br />

with criminal parents have a higher risk of committing crime. Sytske Besemer<br />

investigated this in England as well as in the Netherlands. She answers questions<br />

such as: does it matter when the parents committed crime in the child’s life?<br />

Do more persistent offenders transmit crime more than sporadic offenders?<br />

Do violent offenders specifically transmit violent behaviour or general crime to<br />

their children? Might the police and courts be biased against certain families?<br />

Could a deprived environment explain why parents as well as children show<br />

criminal behaviour? Does parental imprisonment pose an extra risk? This<br />

dissertation is the first study to specifically investigate these mechanisms of<br />

intergenerational continuity.<br />

Personality Dynamics<br />

Meaning Construction, the Social World, and the Embodied Mind<br />

Tomasz Maruszewski (Editor); Malgorzata Fajkowska (Editor); Michael W. Eysenck<br />

(Editor); Daniel Cervone (Editor)<br />

This series grows out of the Biennial Symposia on Personality and Social<br />

Psychology (BSPSP; http://www.bspsp.edu.pl), which are intended to become<br />

a regular forum for psychologists and representatives of allied disciplines.<br />

The goal of BSPSP is to understand and analyze the integrative approach to<br />

studying human psychology. The growing achievements of psychology allow<br />

us to conceptualize, measure, and influence complex behavior. Research<br />

has become more specialized, resulting in difficulties in communication and<br />

collaboration. BSPSP is an important forum for cross-disciplinary discussions<br />

concerning important aspects of the human brain and mind.<br />

Personality Coherence and Incoherence<br />

A Perspective on Anxiety and Depression<br />

Malgorzata Fajkowska (Author)<br />

From the Foreword . . .“In this detailed and thought-provoking book, Małgorzata<br />

Fajkowska provides a novel perspective on personality and its expressions in<br />

anxiety and depression. Her theory is well founded, resplendent in factual<br />

description and theoretical nuance, and is bound to stimulate new thinking<br />

and research.” —Philip J. Corr, University of East Anglia<br />
