Review

" a comprehensive and current text that presents criminology in a clear interdisciplinary manner that will appeal to those interested in scientific versus ideological academic instruction. The text is extremely readable and visually interesting and should appeal to college students who likely are taking criminology as an introductory course. The text could also be used in an upper-level criminology course depending on what the students may have been required to take earlier in their program of study."
