Encyclopedia of Criminology is the third multivolume encyclopedic work on this topic to be published in the last three years. Macmillan's Encyclopedia of Crime and Justice (2001) was quickly followed by Sage's Encyclopedia of Crime and Punishment (2002). The Sage work concentrates on the field of criminal justice, while criminology is the focus of the other two encyclopedias. While the Macmillan and Routledge sets have many similarities, the Encyclopedia of Criminology is unique in its biographic coverage of figures ranging from Freda Adler to J. Edgar Hoover. It also provides greater international and comparative coverage, with nearly 30 essays on crime and justice in specific countries or regions in addition to essays on topics such as international crime statistics and trends and discussion of the international context in entries such as Appeals and post-trial motions and Bail: right to. Legal traditions, measures of crime, and theories of criminal behavior each receive significantly more attention in Encyclopedia of Criminology, which has twice as many entries as the Macmillan work. On the other hand, entries in the Routledge work are generally of slightly shorter length and have fewer references than comparable entries in the Macmillan title.
Recommended for high-school, college and university, and public libraries, particularly those that do not have the Macmillan encyclopedia. Jan Lewis
