Essential reading for those new to the discipline and an invaluable reference point for those well versed in criminology and the sociology of crime and deviance. (Dr Mark Monaghan)
The four authors of this concise volume provide an authoritative introduction to diverse key concepts about crime and its relationship to society. Each chapter starts with a definition (e.g., deviance, social control, normalization), providing readers with the vocabulary and conceptual framework for fully understanding chapter contents... a very good way to expose students and the public (and scholars from outside fields) to definitions, ideas, and theories of crime and society. (K. Evans, Indiana State University)
Professor Ross Coomber is teaches Criminology at Griffith University, Australia.
