CRIMINOLOGY

This text thoroughly examines specific crimes and criminals and gives students the tools to analyze criminal behavior. Conklin’s 'Criminology' looks at crime in a broad context, examining socioeconomic sources of crime and the organization of criminal activity. This distinctive approach offers a uniquely broad-based perspective and advances the overall understanding of crime.
This new edition includes up-to-date and topical material - e.g. the motives of suicide bombers and looting after the 2004 tsunami - to engage students and demonstrate the relevance of criminology in contemporary society.
