International Criminology: A Critical Introduction

Autor Rob Watts, Judith Bessant, Richard Hil
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 14 feb 2008
International Criminology is an easy-access critical introduction to how conventional criminologists in the international arena think about and research crime. By using examples from the US, UK and Australia, the authors outline key ideas, vocabulary, assumptions and findings of the discipline while opening up a set of critical underlying issues and problems.
From theoretical traditions to historical perspectives; contemporary criminology to reflexive criminology; this all encompassing text covers it all. This is the most valuable introduction to international criminology available for undergraduates and works as a superb refresher for more experienced students.

Recenzii

"This comprehensive volume is sure to put a new face on criminology, where it's been, where it is now and what to expect in the future. Well-written, well thought out and informative, it is a must-read for anyone in the criminology field."
J.A. Hitchcock, Cyber Crime Expert and President of Working to Halt Online Abuse
"In an age of globalization, Watts, Bessant, and Hill have written a provocative and exciting introduction to criminology that will be well received by students who are venturing into their first course on the topic. The authors' approach to the discipline is both historical and comparative and is a welcome addition to most mainstream texts that are rarely critical and are usually provincial in content."
Gregg Barak, Professor of Criminology & Criminal Justice, Eastern Michigan University, USA
"In this engaging and highly readable textbook, Watts, Bessant, and Hil challenge students to think critically not only about popular conceptions of crime and offenders, but also about what criminologists do and are supposed to do. With jargon-free prose and apt examples from various countries, the authors encourage students to question and reflect on the "facts" about crime, and guide them beyond the comfort zones of their personal and national boundaries. This book is a refreshingly innovative addition to the criminology textbook market."
Claire Renzetti, Professor of Sociology, University of Dayton, USA and author of Feminist Criminology (Routledge, forthcoming)
"Blending historical inquiry with critical analysis, this highly engaging introduction to criminology should be on the reading list of everyone who is interested in crime and how we think about it."
Dorothy Denning, Professor of Defense Analysis, Naval Postgraduate School, USA
