Product Description
Review
"At last a truly comprehensive, accessible yet authoritative introductory textbook for students of criminology in the UK and beyond written by one of our outstanding criminologists. Given its clarity, breadth and depth, it has the potential to become the 'must have' book for every undergraduate student and teacher of criminology. Put bluntly it puts all other introductory criminology textbooks in the shade'. Professor Gordon Hughes (Cardiff University) I think it's a better book for an undergraduate audience than its competitors, and I think this will be borne out by its adoption and sales... it takes students through a step-by-step, coherent story of nuanced, contextualised and well judged ideas and illustrations in studying criminology.' Dr Colin Webster (Leeds Metropolitan University) There is no other text which addresses the market anywhere near as effectively as this one. I for one would expect to use it extensively and am sure that this will be so for the great majority of those teaching criminology at this level.' Dave Edwards (London South Bank University) I have little doubt that Newburn's proposed work will quickly supplant all rivals as our principally recommended text for first-year undergraduate students... I can easily imagine it becoming the new 'bible' for students of criminology.' Dave Waddington (Sheffield Hallam University)"

This is a comprehensive introduction to criminology for students who are either new or relatively new to the subject. This text provides the basis of study for the new undergraduate student of criminology and those who need a foundation knowledge of criminology in other relevant courses.
