Criminology, or the study of crime, has developed rapidly as a
subject in recent years, while crime and the problem of how to
respond to it have become major concerns for society as a whole.
This book provides a succinct, highly readable - and much needed -
introduction to criminology for those who want to learn more,
whether they are already studying the subject, thinking of doing
so, or just interested to discover what criminology is about.
Introducing Criminology begins by asking basic questions: what is
crime? what is criminology?, before examining the ways in which
crime has been studied, and looking at the main approaches and
schools of thought within criminology and how these have been
developed. The authors focus particularly upon attempts to
understand and explain crime by the disciplines of psychology and
sociology, and consider also the impact of feminist and postmodern
thought on the development of the subject. In the second part of
the book the authors take three very different topics to illustrate
themes raised in the first half of the book, exploring the
particular issues raised by each topic, and showing how
criminologists have gone about their work.
