Criminology (MyCrimeKit Series)

This successful 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 students 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.
