Criminology and Criminal Justice by Peter Joyce

Criminology and Criminal Justice by Peter Joyce

Presents a summary of the key ideas that seek to explain criminal behaviour and the measures that have been developed to prevent crime. This book provides a broad overview of the criminal justice system in order to explain the operations of the key criminal justice agencies and the processes that are involved in bringing offenders to justice.

'Quite simply the best book a prospective undergraduate could read before turning up in September! Clearly explains most areas of Criminal Justice and assumes no prior knowledgeThe study skill section would be invaluable throughout the first year of study and beyond. Already adopted as a recommended purchase to new students.'
–Dr Richard Peake, University of Leeds

'The author unravels complex criminological texts using friendly language and a style which is sure to benefit the student with scant knowledge and understanding. It is refreshing to find a core text that is so accessible to the undergraduate...highly recommended for practitioners, students, and anyone else engaged in teaching and learning in criminology and criminal justice studies.'
− Christopher Blake, University of Teeside in Policing vol 4 no 3
