Sage Vantage: Introduction to Criminology: Theories, Methods, and Criminal Behavior

Introduction to Criminology, Eleventh Edition is a comprehensive introduction to the study of criminal behavior, focusing on the vital core of criminology - theory, method, and criminal behavior. With more attention to crime typologies than most introductory texts, Hagan and Daigle investigate all forms of criminal activity, such as organized crime, white collar crime, political crime, and environmental crime. The methods of operation, the effects on society and policy decisions, and the connection between theory and criminal behavior are all explained in a clear, accessible manner.
