Product Description
Review
`Criminology: A Sociological Introduction presents an outstanding reference point for those starting out in criminology or for those wishing to go back and clarify their understanding of various issues or theories. As an introduction to criminology from a sociological perspective this text is an effective, informative and accessible teaching aid... A more comprehensive introduction to the study of crime than most current examples.' - Ruth Penfold-Mounce, University of Leeds
'I have battled for years to divert students from criminology to sociology, feeling that crime is, in a sinister way, too 'attractive'. With a nicely-structured and well-written text such as this, I feel I am losing my battle.' - Vincenco Ruggiero, Middlesex University
Toni Makkai, Director of Research, Australian Institute of Criminology, Canberra
'The visual illustrations, case studies and examples make the study come alive.'

Criminology stripped bare,
By Nik Greene Author "Author of 'False Accusatio... (Correze, France) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Criminology: A Sociological Introduction (Paperback)
As a criminologist myself I found it refreshingly easy to read
From the basics to deviant behavior laid open for easy understanding I recommend it for students, newly interested and qualified alike at times it gave a fresh outlook on clichéd event sociology I gave it a 4 and not a 5 as at times it rambled to make a point
