Jones: Criminology provides a thorough, yet succinct, discussion of the distribution and causation, or as it is on occasions referred to, the 'epidemiology and aetiology' of crime. The new edition brings the reader up to date with the changing trends in criminological research. The author considers both sociological and psychological explanations of criminal behaviour, posing the right questions to stimulate the reader. There is also an historical chapter dealing with the role of the police in the development of crime control, and an extensive bibliography to aid further research. Designed for undergraduates studying criminology, criminological theory and the sociology of deviance, it focuses on the theoretical aspects of the subject and reflects current trends in teaching.
