Description

This uniquely comprehensive book provides instructors and students the best of both worlds - a text with carefully selected accompanying readings. Each Section has a 15 page introduction (a "mini-chapter) that contains vignettes, photos, tables and graphs, end of chapter questions and Web-exercises and is followed by 3-4 supporting readings. The theory Section introductions will end with a concluding sub-section that focuses on policy and crime prevention. The theory Sections contain a unique table that compares and contrasts the theories presented in that Section.A "How to Read a Research Article" guide for students appears after the book's introduction in Section 1, prior to the first reading. The guide refers students to portions of the first reading to illustrate key aspects of a research article. The readings are carefully selected, edited journal articles appropriate for an undergraduate audience. Additional readings will be found on the accompanying Study Site. It includes a full ancillary package with IR CD for instructors and a comprehensive study site for students.
