More About the Author
Product Description
Review
'... by far the most comprehensive, contemporary and wide-ranging reader on the market ... I have no doubt that it will prove very successful indeed.' – Dave Edwards, London Metropolitan University
'... it's a terrific collection and nothing nearly as good exists elsewhere.' – Jonathan Simon, University of California Berkeley
'A lot of criminology for little money. It contains so many classics we want our students to read anyway, that it is fair to say it is an excellent buy for anyone studying criminology' – Professor Renvan Swaaningen, Erasmus University, Rotterdam
Product Description
Key Readings in Criminology provides a comprehensive single-volume collection of readings in criminology. It provides students with convenient access to a broad range of excerpts (over 150 readings) from original criminological texts and key articles, and is designed to be used either as a stand-alone text or in conjunction with the same author's textbook, Criminology.
This volume can be used in a number of ways in support of the study of criminology:
- as a source of both ‘key’ and supplementary reading for lectures
- as the basis for organized reading in advance of seminars and tutorials
- as the basis for classroom discussion and analysis
- as a broad source of reading for exam revision
- in addition it provides students with access to a broad range of materials with which to follow up their reading of their main textbook
- includes readings that include both more recent summaries of particularly important criminological issues as well as excerpts from criminological classics
- introduces students not only to criminological argument and debate but also encourages them to read primary as well as secondary or summary sources.

Format:Paperback
For anybody studying Criminology, this is the type of book that you will need at some point as there are many subjects within that you will touch upon during your 3 year full time undergraduate studies. Tim Newburn's books are highly recommended to help with studying Criminology and I can only emphasise that recommendation, as it certainly helped me pass my Criminology module in my first year.

Provides more than 140 entries drawn from criminological studies, texts, and articles
15 Mar 2010
Format:Paperback
An impressive 908-page compendium, "Key Readings in Criminology" truly lives up to its title by providing more than 140 entries drawn from criminological studies, texts, and articles, making it ideal as a curriculum textbook, as well as supplemental reading for the creation of papers and articles on criminology. Superbly organized into sections ranging from 'Understanding Crime and Criminology'; 'Crime and Punishment in History'; 'Crime Data and Crime Trends'; and 'Crime and the Media'; to 'Radical and Critical Criminology'; 'Feminist Criminology'; Victims, Victimization and Victimology'; 'White-Collar and Corporate Crime'; 'Organized Crime'; 'Understanding Criminology', under the deft and expert editorship of Tim Newborn, "Key Readings in Criminology" surveys all aspects and facets of the psychology of criminal behavior. Of special note is the concluding section on 'Doing Criminological Research'. Enhanced for students with a comprehensive Index, "Key Readings in Criminology" is not only appropriate for academic library Criminology reference collections, but for the non-specialist general reader with an interest in the study of crime, its causes, formats, and consequences.
