The text is designed for use in Introduction to Criminology, a one-semester course offered by colleges and universities. This book takes a distinct ideological/methodological approach to the subject of criminology that incorporates both “empirical” and “radical” approaches to understanding and reducing crime. Major strengths are the Canadian content and coverage of Canadian research, as well as the cross-cultural comparisons. This second edition incorporates numerous changes, including updated statistics and more material on gender and radical criminology, as well as on restorative justice.
