This comprehensive resource for the Introduction to Criminology course shows students how to think logically and critically about real, contemporary cases and issues in criminology, engaging each student in a dynamic process of discovery. Real Criminology draws on the latest literature from a range of fields to analyze and explain crime. Through this interdisciplinary lens, the textbook introduces students to criminology; types of crime; impacts of crime; theories explaining crime, criminality, and victimization; studies on crime, offenders, victims, and witnesses of crime; and the nature and extent of crime in the United States and abroad. Available as an enhanced eBook, each section is a self-contained unit of pedagogy integrating text, media, and assessment, all corresponding to learning objectives. The text incorporates not only videos and assessments but references to popular films, TV shows, fiction books, music, and games, as well as discussions of well-known national and international crimes, drawing readers' attention to how crimes and criminal behavior are depicted in the media.
