Books - Analog Crime Problem

The following are books1 on analog crime or control. The list is not comprehensive but curated. Every book on the list emphasizes social science. Also, all are published by a university press, national press, or publishing house and not for an exorbitant amount.2 Many are open access. After each book is “Learn more,” which links to its webpage on its publisher’s website. When a book is open access, this is advertised as “Learn more + open access.” There are links to e-versions available via the GSU library (if not available as open access), though not all books are available that way. If you need help obtaining a book via the GSU library, please contact it for help; contact info is on this page.
