Contemporary Readings in Criminology

Product Description

Bringing real-world examples into the criminology course, Contemporary Readings in Criminology allows undergraduate students to read about major topics in criminology in the words of the original authors.

Selected from well respected sociology and criminology journals (including SAGE social science journals), the book′s readings have been edited to make them more user friendly and were vetted by a criminology instructor advisory board to ensure quality.
