This new edition of Criminology provides a comprehensive, thorough, and global approach to the study of criminology. The chapters include the most current statistics, as well as updated boxed features, figures, and tables. 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 the research for this new edition. The “box” program continues to be updated and improved. In the boxes, significant criminological issues that deserve special attention have been highlighted. All chapters have a number of boxes that enhance and highlight the text-including boxes that raise debatable issues, criminological concerns, and reveal just how the field of criminology touches every part of the world.
