Synopsis

This debate-style reader is designed to introduce students to controversies in crime and criminology. The readings, which represent the arguments of leading commentators, reflect a variety of viewpoints and are staged as "pro" and "con" debates. Issues debated include definitions and causes of crimes; race, gender and the criminal justice system; criminological research and public policy; and future trends.
