Full Description
Written by active researcher and bestselling author, Frank E. Hagan, Introduction to Criminology, Ninth Edition is a comprehensive introduction to the study of criminology, focusing on the vital core of criminological theory - theory, method, and criminal behaviour. With more attention to crime typologies than most introductory texts, Hagan investigates all forms of criminal activity, such as: organized crime; white collar crime; political crime; and, environmental crime. The methods of operation, the effects on society and policy decisions, and the connection between theory and criminal behaviour are all explained in a clear, accessible manner.
