The contrbutions to the book offer clear, accessible introductions to the main topics and issues of criminology, and the book includes questions, summaries, key concepts, further reading, and tables and diagrams throughout. Companion Web Site: Lecturer resources: Lecture notes, by chapter Powerpoint slides to accompany lecture notes, by chapter Student resources: Updates Chapter synopses Bonus materials Annotated Further reading Glossary Web links Test Bank: A testbank of approximately 300 multiple choice with answers and feedback, corresponding to each chapter of the book

Review :
"The editors bring together an excellent group of contributions, making this a fascinating read. One of the real benefits is the scope of the material covered, which includes areas often neglected by criminology textbooks". Times Higher Education Supplement "A very useful compilation of the subject of criminology for undergraduates and people studying criminology, particularly for the first time," Dr. Lystra Hagley-Dickinson, British Journal of Criminology Newsletter 2006
