An Introduction to Critical Criminology de Pamela Ugwudike

An Introduction to Critical Criminology

Autor Pamela Ugwudike
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 26 feb 2015
The first book on critical criminology theories and perspectives for students of criminology, sociology, and social policy, this book offers an in-depth but accessible introduction to foundational and contemporary ideas in the field. Using examples, highlighting key points, and offering sample essay questions, Pamela Ugwudike presents students with a vast array of theories and perspectives, including many that challenge mainstream criminological notions about the causes of crime and the operation of the criminal justice system. Aiming not only to familiarize students with these concepts but also to encourage them to develop critical thinking, An Introduction to Critical Criminology will be an ideal text for criminology courses.

Recenzii

“An incisive introduction to critical criminology that is rich in theoretical concepts and illustrated with vivid examples. This is a valuable resource for scholars and students alike.”

“Ugwudike has done an excellent job, drawing together many of the radical, critical, and conflict voices and perspectives in criminology, while evaluating them in a way that will be both interesting and accessible for readers.”

“This clearly written introduction is a welcome addition. Ugwudike presents complex ideas in an accessible fashion, revealing the weighty contribution of critical perspectives within criminology and including underrepresented feminist and critical race theories.”

“A wonderfully written account of both the foundations and contemporary theoretical priorities of critical criminologists. Essential reading for students, teachers, and researchers.”
