About this book
Jones: Criminology provides a thorough yet succinct discussion of the distribution and causation of crime. Throughout the text, the author draws on a wide range of research in order to consider both sociological and psychological explanations of criminal behaviour, aiming to ask the right questions rather than provide a definitive set of answers. The book follows an historical path through the development of the main criminological theories and is fully referenced, guiding the reader to further, more in-depth study of any particular aspect.
