A concise and up to date introduction to criminology for those undertaking degrees and foundation degrees in policing, police studies and related subjects.

Key topics include the changing role of policing, police governance and accountability, policing philosophies and strategies and the globalisation of policing. The book also examines the role criminology has played in the modernisation agenda and police reform, the shift to evidence-led policing, and the relationship between criminological theory and police practice.

I very much like the simplicity of the layout of this book. It is very easy to understand especially the theories sections. The students will benefit greatly from this book as it places much of their required learning into one place.
