Criminology provides a comprehensive, thorough, and global approach to the study of criminology. The authors address the vital and urgent problems of crime through a combination of comprehensible theory, the latest statistics, and contemporary examples. There is expanded coverage in every chapter of the most critical issues facing the field today, and how advances in sister disciplines (including the neurosciences) inform ground-breaking research. Criminology's popular feature boxes continue to be updated and enhanced, highlighting significant criminological issues that deserve special attention. The text addresses the wide-ranging criminal justice impacts of the killing of George Floyd, Jr., from crime causation theory to the differential treatment of people of color throughout the criminal process.
