Introduction to Criminology: Why Do They Do It?

Introduction to Criminology, second edition offers a contemporary and integrated discussion of the key theories that help us understand crime in the 21st century. With a focus on why offenders commit crimes, authors Pamela Schram and Stephen Tibbetts skillfully engage students as they help them explore the fundamentals of criminology thorough real-world cases and examples. To better align with how instructors actually teach this course, coverage of crime typologies have been integrated in with the theory chapters. Unlike the others on the market, Introduction to Criminology discusses issues of diversity in each chapter. Transnational comparisons regarding crime rates and the way other countries deal with crime make the text more universal and will attract instructors who take a global approach to criminology. Additionally, this text offers an entire chapter on feminist criminology, a topic often overlooked in the competitors.
