About

A comprehensive yet easy-to-use introduction to understanding criminology.

Covering different types of crime from serial killings to political, white-collar and organized crime, this book starts by exploring how crime is defined and measured. It then looks at various reasons why people commit crime, and how it can be prevented.

The second half of the book hones in on criminal justic systems themselves, examining the role of the police, the courts and the prisons, with examples taken from around the world.
