American society's fascination with crime and the increasing availability of jobs in the criminal justice system have made criminology one of the fastest growing disciplines on college campuses. The dramatically updated third edition of Criminology provides one of the most comprehensive and accessible introductions to that course.Piers Beirne and James Messerschmidt's unique text has been praised for its comprehensive and in-depth coverage of classical and contemporary criminological theories, coverage of types of crime, inclusion of a comparative perspective, and the accessible writing style.
