xx, 908 p. : 27 cm, \"Key Readings in Criminology is the most comprehensive single-volume collection of readings in criminology. It provides students with convenient access to a broad range of excerpts (over 140 readings) from original criminological texts and key articles, and is designed to be used either as a stand-alone text or in conjunction with the same author's textbook, Criminology. This volume can be used in a number of ways in support of the study of criminology - as a source of both 'key' and supplementary reading for lectures, as the basis for organised reading in advance of seminars and tutorials, as the basis for classroom discussion and analysis, and as a broad source of reading for exam revision. In addition it provides students with access to a broad range of materials with which to follow up their reading of their main textbook. It includes readings that include both more recent summaries of particularly important criminological issues as well as excerpts from criminological classics. It introduces students not only to criminological argument and debate but also encourages them to read primary as well as secondary or summary sources.\"--BOOK JACKET, Includes bibliographical references and index
