DESCRIPTION:Speaker - Tom Gash\, Institute for Government\n\nT
 here are two myths about crime. In one\, the crimi
 nal act is a selfish choice\, and tough punishment
  the only solution. In the other\, the system is a
 t fault\, and perpetrators will change only when s
 ociety reforms. Both these narratives are wrong. \
 n\nInterweaving conversations and stories of crime
  with findings from the latest research\, Tom Gash
  dispels the myths that inform our views of crime\
 , from the widespread misconception that poverty c
 auses crime\, to the belief that tough sentencing 
 reduces it. He examines the origins of criminal be
 haviour\, the ebb and flow of crime across the las
 t century\, and the effectiveness of various gover
 nment crack-downs - and in doing so reveals that c
 rime is both less rational and much easier to redu
 ce than many believe. \n\nCriminal is published by
  Penguin books.
