It provides students with convenient access to a broad range of excerpts (over 150 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.

• as the basis for classroom discussion and analysis;
• 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 more recent summaries of particularly important criminological issues, as well as excerpts from criminological classics;
• it also introduces students not only to criminological argument and debate, but also encourages them to read primary as well as secondary or summary sources.
