This successful text thoroughly examines specific crimes and criminals and gives students the tools to analyze criminal behavior. Conklin's Criminology looks at crime in a broad context, examining socioeconomic sources of crime and the organization of criminal activity. This distinctive approach offers students a uniquely broad-based perspective and advances the overall understanding of crime. This new edition includes up-to-date and topical material -- e.g. the motives of suicide bombers and looting after the 2004 tsunami -- to engage students and demonstrate the relevance of criminology in contemporary society.

The text is illustrated with copious boxed selections, easy-to-interpret tables and graphs, and dozens of compelling boxed features. While thoroughly researched and authoritative, the text is accessible to students and well-suited for one-semester courses.
