"I find that Walsh's text is a great value for the price in that it
encompasses a number of criminal justice topics, a strong
theoretical discussion, and dedicates chapters to the integrated
approach of criminology. [It also features] an interdisciplinary
approach that integrates rather than separates the theories [and] a
comprehensive student study site that challenges the student to
move beyond the classroom and textbook."-Erin Conley-Monroe, Harold
Washington College I was impressed after reviewing the table of
contents that Walsh included separate Chapters on Terrorism and
Drugs . . . I felt that Walsh's writing is very sophisticated and
better organized with regards to Chapters than [the competition]. I
really liked how the interdisciplinary approach is explained and
the organization/choice of theories covered.... It addresses
Criminology more at the interdisciplinary approach and explains why
that is important. I [also] find Sage's [student study site at
www.sagepub.com/criminologystudy] to be thorough and easy to
navigate. Walsh is a much better value for the price."-Cathryn
Lavery, Iona College This unique text offers an interdisciplinary
perspective on crime and criminality by integrating the latest
theories, concepts, and research from sociology, psychology, and
biology. Offering a more complete look at the world of criminology
than any other existing text, authors Anthony Walsh and Lee Ellis
first present criminological theory and concepts in their
traditional form and then show how integrating theory and concepts
from the more basic sciences can complement, expand, strengthen,
and add coherence to them. Key Features: Offers students the
opportunity to learn from the "cutting edges" of criminology: This
innovative, interdisciplinary approach introduces students to the
"future" of criminology by offering new and exciting insights. The
book also includes strong sections on crime policy and prevention
that illustrate the practical benefits of understanding theory and
how theories guide policy-makers seeking to prevent and control
crime. Focuses on topics fascinating to students: Chapters on
typologies such as violent crime, serial killers, terrorism, drug
and alcohol addiction, psychopaths, organized crime, and white
collar crime engage students while showing how the theories
presented earlier can be applied. Presents material in a
student-friendly style: Written in an accessible format, the book
features many pedagogical tools such as chapter opening vignettes,
"Focus On" boxes, summary tables of all theories, a unique photo
program, discussion questions, Web-driven exercises, and key terms
