The only indispensible general criminology reader on the market. Comprehensive in its coverage, judicious in its selectivity and organisation, and sophisticated in its contextualising commentaries, McLaughlin and Muncie′s substantially revised collection of key and classic readings is becoming something of a classic itself. A truly must have book.
