3. Overview of Criminology, Tenth Edition, offers a comprehensive insight into the study of criminology, focusing on the key core areas of the field―theory, methodology, and criminal behavior. Emphasizing crime typologies more than typical introductory texts, authors Frank E. Hagan and Leah Elizabeth Daigle explore various forms of criminal activities, such as organized crime, white-collar crime, political crime, and environmental crime. The operational methods, societal impacts and policy implications, and the correlation between theory and criminal behavior are all elucidated in a clear, accessible manner.

    

   New in the Tenth Edition:

   • Fresh “Applying Theory” scenarios have been integrated into the theory sections in Part II. These practical exercises promote critical thinking by requiring the application of criminological theory to explain the criminal behavior of Aileen Wuornos.

   • Examination of significant new topics, such as effective practices in criminology, the nexus between immigration and crime, the impact of neuroscience and genetic research on criminology, recent shootings and terrorist incidents, and the ongoing debate between over-criminalization and under-criminalization, deepens your understanding of the field.
