Overview
Criminology is a clear, thought-provoking exploration of core concepts, the latest research and current events shaping criminal justice today. Built to be affordable without sacrificing academic rigor, its pedagogy will move you beyond memorization to true understanding.
Cases and current events throughout illustrate principles from the text. You'll be prompted to think critically about conflicts, ethical issues, and evidence on crime prevention programs, while drawing on what you've learned about criminological theories.
The 5th Edition of Criminology explores new theories of criminology and considers the impact of the most pressing issues today. It also adds web links to YouTube® videos discussing connections between crime and the economy.
