TO AVOID THE CREATION OF NEW FALLACIES AND MYTHS, IT IS IMPORTANT FOR SCHOLARS TO BE CAREFUL, BE PRECISE AND TO GET THE FACTS RIGHT AND TO BE EVEN-HANDED WHEN DISSEMINATING COMMENTS AND REVIEWS ABOUT THE  ORIGINAL ACADEMIC WORK AND ORIGINAL CONCEPTIONS OF OTHERS AND ANY EVALUATIONS OF IT.

My Oxford University Press Bibliography on Fencing and Stolen Goods is in-press and will be published very shortly in 2017. 

Meanwhile, here is a list of just a small sample of my theoretical and evidence-led work that has been published on the Market Reduction Approach the theft.

Veracity is just as important in criminology as it is in other academic and policy oriented areas

I explain why in a very well cited article. First read about why I wrote it here
