Explore the world of crime and punishment Police, forensics, and
detective stories dominate our TV screens and bookshelves--from
fictional portrayals such as Silence of the Lambs and Law and Order
to lurid accounts of real-life super-criminals like Pablo Escobar
and Al Capone. As well as being horribly fascinating, knowledge of
what makes criminals tick is crucial to governments, who spend
billions of dollars each year trying to keep their people safe.
Criminology brings disciplines like psychology, biology, and
economics together to help police and society solve crimes--and to
prevent them before they even happen. The new edition of
Criminology For Dummies shines a light into the dark recesses of
the criminal mind and goes behind-the-scenes with society's
response to crime, putting you right on the mean streets with cops
and criminals alike. Along the way, you'll learn everything a
rookie needs to survive, including basic definitions of what a
crime is and how it's measured; common criminal motivations,
thinking, and traits; elementary crime-solving techniques; the
effects on and rights of victims; and more. Understand types of
crime, from white-collar to organized to terror attacks Follow
law-enforcement officials and agencies as they hunt the bad guys
Meet key players in criminal justice and see how and why the guilty
are punished Check out jobs in the field Whether you plan to enter
the criminal justice field or just want to know more about what
turns some people to the dark side--and how the thin blue line
fights back--this is your perfect guide to criminology basics.
