This fully updated third edition of Criminology: The Basics is a lively and engaging guide to this compelling and complex subject. Topics covered include: * the history and development of criminology * myths about crime and offenders * the search for criminological explanation * victims of crime and state crime * crime prevention, cybercrime, and the future of crime control * criminology and intersectionality This edition also includes new sections on genocide, terrorism, cultural victimology, and Westo-centric thinking. Concise and accessible, this book utilises chapter summaries, exercise questions and lists of further reading to provide a perfect introduction to this subject.
