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)"

Product Description
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. These include access and foundation degree courses run by colleges, university level courses in law, probation, policing, criminal and forensic investigation, and forensic psychology, as well as criminological components of A level courses in sociology and psychology.This book is: comprehensive - covering all the areas found in 'criminology' and 'criminal justice' textbooks; interdisciplinary - moving beyond sociological approaches to crime and criminal justice to take full account of the contribution of other disciplines, particularly psychology and biology; accessible - written, designed and presented to be valuable to both teachers and students; authoritative - written by an experienced and prolific author, researcher and leading British criminologist who has taught at A level, undergraduate and postgraduate levels; lively - full of illustrations, graphics, cartoons and with a number of special features; functional - easy to use, and geared to the needs of students and to the courses and exams they will confront; and, additional website support for students and teachers.

5.0 out of 5 stars Superb for teachers and students of criminology, 31 Dec 2007
By U. Smartt "Ursula Smartt" (London, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Tim Newburn's volumous yet lively `Criminology' (2007) serves as an excellent introduction to all current themes in criminology. Chapter 1 `understanding crime and criminology' serves as a comprehensive introduction to criminology for students who are either new to the subject or need a quick revision guide to criminology. The textbook covers all popular areas found in criminology and criminal justice, illustrated by graphics, photographs and newspaper extracts. I have certainly recommended it to all my criminology students at all levels of study at Thames Valley University. Ursula Smartt, Senior Lecturer at Law and Criminology.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Last Word in Criminology Textbooks, 2 Jul 2008
By Dr. K. Williams - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Newburn's `Criminology' is the last word in criminology textbooks. Enjoyable to read, comprehensive and authoritative, Newburn's `Criminology' is a real subject `bible'. Newburn's highly accessible style means that complex information is explained clearly without losing depth. The plentiful, varied and original illustrations help to bring concepts, writers and the subject as a whole to life. An excellent resource throughout a criminology degree, Newburn's `Criminology' represents absolute value for money and I highly recommend it to all criminology students.

Dr Kate Williams, Senior Lecturer in Criminology, University of Wolverhampton

5.0 out of 5 stars The Bible for every Criminology student, 7 Dec 2007
By Ms. K. A. Passfield "kirsty" (Derby, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book is the best book i have ever bought and it will remain on my bookshelf forever. This is the most accessible and up to date book there is about criminology for those students who have just begun their studies. Newburn covers pretty much every topic there is surrounding criminology but he makes it simple to read. Therefore, it is a great book to look at when you are beginning your essay research as it explains each topic very well, giving you good foundations to build on, but he also includes other academics work to give you clues as to who's work you should look at next.
At my university this book was the most bought book in Waterstone's this term.
Anyone considering buying this book should not dither but just go for it because i promise it will not disappoint or seem like a waste of money.
