Criminology

By John E. Conklin

Book Overview

The eleventh edition of Criminology is a lively introduction to the study of crime. As opposed to the "crime-of-the-week" approach common to many other texts, Conklin introduces students to critical issues in the field, such as the way people learn to commit crime, the development of criminal careers, and the organization of criminal behavior. The text is illustrated with copious boxed selections, easy-to-interpret tables and graphs, and dozens of compelling boxed features. While thoroughly researched and authoritative, the text is accessible to students and well-suited for one-semester courses.

Criminal Law Books

I had to have this book for Soc 305 and even though I am not an avid reader of books, I did have to read this for class and it has some interesting facts even if you aren't going to school to study Social and Criminal Justice. I would recommend for anyone that wants to learn about how criminals think, their actions and ethics of knowing right from wrong.

Pleased!

The book was received promptly and in good condition. Condition was noted exactly as it was when purchasing the book..... Notes said book had some wear and highlighting and it did. Overall this was a great purchase as it is good to know details of the condition when purchasing and the book worked for what I needed. I would reccommend this seller.
