Crime & criminology
Have you always wanted to know what makes an ordinary person commit a crime? Explore the dark side of human nature with this illuminating beginner's guide to criminology.

There are few subjects more compelling or divisive than criminology. Whether crime dominates the headlines or just the subject of your latest boxset, our animal instincts have always drawn us to darkness and danger.

This pocket-sized introduction includes accessible primers on the key criminological thinkers, themes and theories, including:

How disciplines such as economics, psychology and sociology have informed criminological study and our understanding of crime

Why some individuals are more or less likely to engage in criminal behaviour

The biggest issues facing contemporary society, such as cybercrime, gendered crime and hate crime

From understanding criminal motivation to how crime is policed and prevented, there has never been a more important moment to grasp how crime affects our lives today and how it might tomorrow.
