Criminology: A Sociological Introduction
Autor Eamon Carrabine, Pam Cox, Isabel Crowhurst, Anna Di Ronco, Pete Fussey, Anna Sergi, Nigel South, Darren Thiel, Jackie Turtonen Limba Engleză Paperback – 17 apr 2020
Authored by an internationally renowned and experienced group of authors in the Department of Sociology at the University of Essex, this is a truly international criminology text that delves into areas that other texts may only reference. It includes substantive chapters on the following topics:
• Histories of crime;
• Theoretical approaches to crime and the issue of social change;
• Victims and victimisation;
• Crime, emotion and social psychology;
• Drugs, alcohol, health and crime;
• Criminal justice and the sociology of punishment;
• Green criminology;
• Crime and the media;
• Terrorism, state crime and human rights.
The new edition fuses global perspectives in criminology from the contexts of post-Brexit Britain and America in the age of Trump, and from the Global South. It contains new chapters on cybercrime; crimes of the powerful; organised crime; life-course approaches to understanding delinquency and desistance; and futures of crime, control and criminology.
Each chapter includes a series of critical thinking questions, suggestions for further study and a list of useful websites and resources. The book also contains a glossary of the criminological terms and concepts used in the book. It is the perfect text for students looking for a broad, critical and international introduction to criminology, and it is essential reading for those looking to expand their ‘criminological imagination’.

Recenzii
"The British have always done critical criminology well and this is by far one of the best introductions to critical criminology available. One of the strengths of this text and what distinguishes it from many market competitors is that the authors are scholars of international distinction who do groundbreaking research and don’t just report on it. They know their field and this allows them to avoid some of tropes and clichés encountered in other textbooks. And if you are looking for an introduction to criminology that avoids a lot of the parochialism of other texts, this is the one to read, with each new edition increasingly global in scale and ambition."
John Scott, Professor, School of Justice, Faculty of Law, Queensland University of Technology, Australia
