• crime trends, from historical overview to recent crime patterns
• criminal justice system, including policing and prisons
• ways of thinking about crime and control, from the origins of criminology to contemporary theories
• research methods used by criminologists
• new topics within criminology including terrorism, cybercrime, human rights, and emotion

The book is packed with contemporary international case studies and has a lively 2 colour text design to aid student revision. Specially designed to be accessible and user-friendly, the new edition is also supported by a fully interactive companion website which offers exclusive access to British Crime Survey data, as well as other student and lecturer resources.
