Description
Criminology: A Sociological Introduction offers a comprehensive and critical overview of the study of criminology. This authoritative text explores pressing contemporary issues such as globalization, environmental crimes, terrorism, and cybercrime, drawing on global perspectives from post-Brexit Britain and America to the Global South. The book delves into areas that other texts may only reference, including histories of crime, theoretical approaches to crime, victims and victimization, and green criminology. New chapters cover topics such as cybercrime, organized crime, life-course approaches to understanding delinquency and desistance, and futures of crime, control, and criminology. With critical thinking questions, suggestions for further study, and a glossary of criminological terms, this text is ideal for students seeking a broad, critical introduction to criminology.
