Description

Crime and Justice: A Guide to Criminology begins exactly where a critical teaching text should – by challenging the very concept at the centre of the discipline. From this foundation it builds into a comprehensive and accessible introduction to key topics in crime and crime control that embraces complexity and debate, avoiding a common tendency to oversimplify. Over-stretched lecturers and tutors will particularly welcome the probing questions and well-chosen resources, case studies and recommendations for further reading provided with each chapter.

Professor Leanne Weber

With its recurring Ned Kelly-themed cover, Crime and Justice: A Guide to Criminology has earned its reputation as the leading Australian textbook for undergraduate and postgraduate students embarking on a journey of discovery into all things criminological.  The contributors are prominent academics engaged in research-informed teaching all over Australia; and so, they have an appreciation for knowing how to inspire student readers. As prominent researchers in their field they are at the forefront of national if not international criminological debates.

Fully revised and updated, this seventh edition offers an exhaustive guide to criminal justice and criminology that can be readily adapted to any university course.  It covers a wide array of topics including: different forms of crime – from hyper-visible street-level offences to less visible ‘corporate’ crimes perpetrated in office towers; who commits crimes (and why); the experiences of victims of crime; and how society seeks to combat and reduce crime and victimisation. 

This seventh edition covers more contemporary subjects too, such as globalisation and crime, environmental crime, and cybercrime. It also includes a new section dedicated to engaging with the key critical and emerging issues in criminology today, such as re-shaping youth justice, and decolonising criminology.

Crime and Justice: A Guide to Criminology 7th edition is essential reading for students of criminal justice, criminology, penology, policing, sociology, justice and society studies, and legal studies. Practitioners and workers in agencies (both government and non-government) who are engaged in criminal justice issues would also be well-served by this text.
