Crime and Criminal Justice provides students with a comprehensive and engaging introduction to the study of criminology by taking an interdisciplinary approach to explaining criminal behaviour and criminal justice.The book is divided into two parts, which address the two essential bases that form the discipline of criminology. Part One describes, discusses and evaluates a range of theoretical approaches that have offered explanations for crime, drawing upon contributions from the disciplines of sociology, psychology, and biology. It then goes on to apply these theories to specific forms of criminality. Part Two offers an accessible but detailed review of the major philosophical aims and sociological theories of punishment, and examines the main areas of the contemporary criminal justice system – including the police, the courts and judiciary, prisons, and more recent approaches to punishment.Presenting a clear and thorough review of theoretical thinking on crime, and of the context and current workings of the criminal justice system, this book provides students with an excellent grounding in the study of criminology.

This fascinating collection of over 200 old photographs provides a unique and nostalgic pictorial history of Porthcawl, Newton and Nottage. The author was given the opportunity to use photographs and records from the archives of the Bridgend and Porthcawl libraries and the Porthcawl Museum and Historical Society. Some of the images are very rare. Others come from private sources and have not been seen in public before. Together, they trace the fluctuating patterns of life in the district.The area has witnessed many dramatic changes in its development. It was once, basically, a farming community and agriculture still plays its part. However, being on the coast, the sea has considerably influenced the destiny of Porthcawl, Newton and Nottage. From very early times when Roman galleys and Viking longboats sailed these waters, shipping has provided a means of communication and trade. This reached its peak in the late nineteenth century when Porthcawl became a major coal-exporting port. When fortunes changed, the area developed into one of Wales’ premier seaside resorts with the main business today centred on the holiday and tourist trade.This book is certain to interest anyone with ties to the area and will provide a wealth of memories to be shared by young and old alike.

A history of the Grand Pavilion Porthcawl.

This book is part of the Images of Wales series, which uses old photographs and archived images to show the history of various local areas in Wales, through their streets, shops, pubs, and people.
