Criminology Today: An Integrative Introduction prompts you to think critically about the causes of crime and the link between crime theories and policies. Throughout the text, author Frank Schmalleger frames content through the hallmark theme of social problems versus individual responsibility. Real-life stories and up-to-date examples bring to life both historical and modern criminological approaches.
The 11th Edition offers up-to-date coverage of crime and crime prevention, exploring topics such as carjacking, fentanyl, chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) Act. The use of person-first language throughout makes the text more accessible.
