Description

Criminology: A Sociological Understanding (8th Edition)

Criminology: A Sociological Understanding provides award-winning coverage of the sociology of crime, offering a comprehensive assessment of how race, ethnicity, gender, and social class influence both criminal behavior and the treatment of individuals within the legal system. Author Steven E. Barkan moves beyond simplistic “get tough” narratives, asserting that a deep understanding of the social causes of criminal behavior is the essential first step toward addressing it. The text encourages readers to apply a critical eye to the modern reliance on the criminal justice system as the primary means of reducing crime.

This thoroughly revised 8th Edition incorporates the latest available statistics and research in the fields of crime and criminal justice. With dozens of new references and updated content throughout, the book provides an academic yet accessible exploration of contemporary criminological issues through a sociological lens.
