CRIMINOLOGY. Thorough. Engaging. Distinctive. 'From the moment you begin to study criminology, you should consider yourself a criminologist' Stephen Case, chapter 2 Criminology is a core, introductory textbook that takes students further. From the first chapter, students are encouraged to regard themselves as producers of criminological knowledge. Starting from the basics, the book takes students on a journey through the subject. This begins with what crime is and the theories that try to explain it, through society's response to crime, and ultimately to how to carry out independent research and plan first steps in a career. The critical, applied approach is emphasized through some of the many features that are integrated throughout the book. These include conversations with authentic voices from the field, compelling personal insights from the authors, and challenges to students to question assumptions, apply knowledge and critically reflect on their personal viewpoints. The ultimate goal behind Criminology is a bold, important, and ambitious one. Both student-focused and research engaged, the purpose of the book is to contribute towards producing the next generation of criminologists who are switched-on, excited, active, and - above all - critical.

Textbook on Criminology is designed to give the student a clear understanding of the essential theories of criminology. It approaches the subject as a whole and covers the issues more frequently encountered by students. Rather than concentrating on a small area of criminological learning, as most books have done in the past, it provides students with a text that covers all the key elements of the subject. The book deals with the major questions of criminology, such as 'How do you define a crime?', 'Why do people become criminals?' and 'What should we do to prevent crime and deal with criminals?'. Each question is studied from an objective and academic viewpoint and gives the reader guidelines on the issues which are at stake and how best to find answers. The book will encourage a greater social, political and philosophical awareness of both crime and criminals. This new edition presents a major update of the literature and consolidates its coverage of areas such as control balance theory and the significance of new findings in genetics for criminology. It also offers a deeper insight into societal responses to crime. Over the past 20 years the landscape of crime control and of societal expectation in relation to it has altered completely, moving from a largely welfare system to a neo-liberal system. This text maps out these changes and analyses the reasons that underlie them. It also examines political influences and the vast changes in crime control together with the theories underpinning them which have been introduced since the New Labour administration came to power in 1997.
