Advanced Criminology presents a complete and comprehensive account of advanced theoretical criminology. Theory, research, and policy are all covered within the book. The text not only covers the latest advances, but also provides “new directions” for all the traditional mainstream theories. The text assumes that readers are somewhat familiar with introductory criminology, but still provides an avenue for students to learn as they go.
