Reviews for The Oxford Handbook of Criminology
The Handbook has long been essential for me, both as a student and a teacher. The new edition is every bit as significant as its predecessors - the updates that have been made are exciting and ensure that it retains its relevance. * Dr Daniel Newman, Reader, Cardiff School of Law, Politics and International Relations * An excellent textbook for any Criminology or Criminal Justice programme, with renowned academics in the field providing depth and critical awareness of theoretical approaches and policy developments for understanding contemporary issues. * Jenny Johnstone, Senior Lecturer, Newcastle Law School *
