Written by internationally well-known and highly respected figures in the field, this leading text for the criminology course offered in departments of sociology and criminal justice, is known for its lucid style and particularly strong coverage of international and comparative crime. 
This text is available in two versions, one with, and the other without coverage of the criminal justice system. For schools that retain the traditional criminology course, which includes criminological coverage of criminal justice, Criminology, third edition, is the ideal text. For schools that have expanded their offerings by adding an introductory course in criminal justice, Criminology: The Shorter Version, 3/e, is probably more appropriate. The Shorter Version omits Part IV (A Criminological Approach to the Criminal Justice System).

Criminal acts are often the result of a number of influences. Socialization and processes based in the family influence behaviours, as do experiences at school, among peers, in the workplace, and in broader society. Media is a critical factor here too. All of these experiences and interactions with others have a "ripple effect": some are criminogenic, most are not. Moreover, the ripple effect suggests that whether we focus on the prevention, intervention, or suppression of crime, the approaches are intertwined. 
A readable, attractive, and student-first text, Criminology, second Canadian edition is rich with pedagogical elements that promote and foster critical thinking. Building on the solid foundation of the first Canadian edition, this improved and updated edition features many new examples, a freshly written Epilogue, and even more Canadian content.
