Comprehensive coverage of a variety of crimes and leading criminological theories is provided and supported by new, relevant case studies.By making the connection between theory, research, and policy, this revised and updated Third Edition demonstrates the relevancy of criminological theory in the public's attempt to control crime while providing justice. The emphasis on these three elements with pertinent discussions and examples is what sets this text apart from other criminology titles.
