This is a comprehensive core text with fully integrated readings and a built-in student study guide. Drawing on his 25 years of teaching experience, Professor Glick presents all basic criminological concepts and theories. 35 readings, drawn from classic works, popular magazines, and government publications, support the text's discussions and provide students with in-depth information on criminal behaviour. Study guide features found at the end of each chapter, help students organize the material and evaluate their understanding. The author's approach is inclusive and eclectic throughout. While the text stresses the sociological ways of assessing and explaining criminal behaviour, it also draws on scientific research and the theoretical perspectives of many other fields.
