Criminology Avis

'At last a truly comprehensive, accessible yet authoritative introductory textbook for students of criminology in the UK and beyond, written by one of our leading criminologists.' Professor Gordon Hughes, Cardiff University, UK

'Criminology is a remarkable achievement. Written by one of the most renowned experts in the field, it is the very first sole-authored, comprehensive, truly student-friendly text in the field. In short, this text is set to become an indispensable guide for those who study and teach criminology.' Professor Yvonne Jewkes, Leicester University, UK

'Newburn's distinctive accomplishment in this book is the combination of accessibility and scholarship, achieving (near comprehensive) breadth without compromise to depth... It is not easy to think of another criminologist who could have managed this nor or a better single volume to put in the hands of a criminology student.' - Professor Rob Canton, De Montfort University, UK

'Exceptionally comprehensive and well structured, it will undoubtedly become one of the leading criminological textbooks on the market... I would have no hesitation in recommending it for use by my students as well as referring my colleagues to it.' - Lorraine Wolhuter, University of Wolverhampton, UK

'I have little doubt that Newburn's text will quickly supplant all rivals as our principally recommended text for first-year undergraduate students... I can easily imagine it becoming the new 'bible' for students of criminology.' - Dave Waddington, Sheffield Hallam University, UK

'I think it's a better book for an undergraduate audience than its competitors... it takes students through a step-by-step, coherent story of nuanced, contextualised and well judged ideas and illustrations in studying criminology.' - Dr Colin Webster, Leeds Metropolitan University, UK

'There is no other text which addresses the market anywhere near as effectively as this one.' - Dave Edwards, London South Bank University, UK
