Introduction to Criminology by Pamela J Schram

Introduction to Criminology by Pamela J Schram

Acclaimed authors and professors Pamela Schram and Steven G. Tibbetts skillfully connect criminological theories to real-life cases to help students better understand criminology fundamentals. They thoroughly introduce theoretical perspectives that explain criminal behaviour and are most respected by modern criminologists, while illustrating the theories with real-life examples such as street violence and property crimes. This text also includes many contemporary topics that are not well represented in competing texts, such as cybercrime, hate crimes, white-collar crime, homeland security, and identity theft.

Your textbook is the best format I′ve seen for explaining the crime theories and matching criminals to those theories

-- Sgt. Levi Miller
