520 _a"Criminology provides a discussion of the distribution and causation of crime. Throughout the text, the author draws on a wide range of research in order to consider both sociological and psychological explanations of criminal behaviour aiming to ask the right questions rather than provide a definitive set of answers." "This third edition has been fully updated and is designed for undergraduates studying criminology, criminological theory, and the sociology of deviance. Its detailed analysis and sources of further readings will also be of interest to postgraduate students."--BOOK JACKET.
