Comprehensive, critical and accessible, Criminology: A Sociological
Introduction offers an authoritative overview of the study of
criminology, from early theoretical perspectives to pressing
contemporary issues such as the globalisation of crime, crimes
against the environment, terrorism and cybercrime. Authored by an
internationally renowned and experienced group of authors in the
Department of Sociology at the University of Essex, this is a truly
international criminology text that delves into areas that other
texts may only reference. It includes substantive chapters on the
following topics: * Histories of crime; * Theoretical approaches to
crime and the issue of social change; * Victims and victimisation;
* Crime, emotion and social psychology; * Drugs, alcohol, health
and crime; * Criminal justice and the sociology of punishment; *
Green criminology; * Crime and the media; * Terrorism, state crime
and human rights. The new edition fuses global perspectives in
criminology from the contexts of post-Brexit Britain and America in
the age of Trump, and from the Global South. It contains new
chapters on cybercrime; crimes of the powerful; organised crime;
life-course approaches to understanding delinquency and desistance;
and futures of crime, control and criminology. Each chapter
includes a series of critical thinking questions, suggestions for
further study and a list of useful websites and resources. The book
also contains a glossary of the criminological terms and concepts
used in the book. It is the perfect text for students looking for a
broad, critical and international introduction to criminology, and
it is essential reading for those looking to expand their
'criminological imagination'.
