Product Description

Product Description
'Embarking on a university degree can be a daunting business and this book is an invaluable resource for those beginning the journey. Written especially for Criminology students it guides readers right through their studies, combining practical advice with realistic assessments of the constraints within which many students work. Subjects range from time management to entering the job market as a Criminology graduate, via how to write an essay when the library shelves have emptied. Lecturers will be reassured that students are also offered advice on issues such as using Internet sites judiciously and choosing a manageable dissertation topic. In short, Study Skills for Criminology will give confidence to anyone anticipating the start of their Criminology degree, or facing a critical point in their studies, as well as those who are simply interested in finding out more about what studying Criminology at university entails. A first class read!' - Dr Yvonne Jewkes, Reader in Criminology, The Open University

Whether you are contemplating a degree in criminology or criminal justice, embarking on your course or starting to think about life after graduation, this book will be of relevance to you.

Study Skills for Criminology offers an insight into the expectations that universities have of their students and indicates what students can expect from their criminology degree. It also provides an introduction to some of the theoretical and practical aspects of crime and criminal justice. It uses criminological examples to illustrate how to study at university, covering all aspects including:

- Choosing modules

- Finding information - including books, journals and the internet

- Writing essays

- Presentation skills

- Revision

- Taking exams

- Applying theory to practice

- Career focus

The text is interspersed with activities and key tips to enable students to monitor and reflect on their progress throughout their degree. Also included is a glossary and, throughout the text, definitions of terms and issues.
