Crime and Criminal Justice by Ian Marsh

Crime and Criminal Justice by Ian Marsh

This work provides students with a comprehensive and engaging introduction to the study of criminology by taking an interdisciplinary approach to explaining criminal behaviour and criminal justice. It is divided into two parts, which address the two essential bases that form the discipline of criminology.

Review 1 Southampton (middle ranking dept)We will include more on contemporary theorising. We are aware of the Hale et al book, We can do as good a job (but some will always like an Oxford Univ Press publication).

Review 2 (Kent – high ranking dept.) not entirely negative, main gist is that books is too low a level – I was hoping for this comment.

Review 3 (Huddersfield (low ranking dept) very positive and coming from a similar perspective/approach – would adopt the book 2 x 120 students

Review 4 (Coventry middle ranking dept)- some useful points – would like to see the book developed and published.

The reviews seem to confirm that there is a gap for the proposed multidisciplinary intro textbook that aims at low/middle ranking universities that teach a the multidisciplinary approach. The author has taken the suggestions by reviewer 3 and 4 and to a certain extent 1 on board and has revised the proposal accordingly.
