Review
"From a discipline that is replete with jargon, these authors manage to produce an accessible, elegantly written text which is not only of value to the new student but which will enable practitioners and policy makers to refresh and revitalise their theoretical understanding of crime and deviance." Vista - Perspectives on Probation 2004, on the previous edition

Format:Paperback
I have to offer a counter to the previous viewpoint. Downes and Rock is an extremely thorough text which addresses the various applications of social theory to the question of deviance and offending. It is, at times, dense and difficult to read, but that reflects the subject matter: simplistic understanding of issues of deviance and crime result in simplistic responses. I cannot think of a single text that produces both an overview and depth of understanding.
Format:Paperback
As I am nearly at the end of my first year doing a degree in psychology with criminology I have to say this is one of the best books for the latter subjects. Covers everything I need in one book, perfect!
Format:Paperback
This book is an excelent resource for degree level Deviance it is clear,concise and to the point. Each chpter of the book is clearly layed out for th benefit of the reader!
