“This text is a fresh, clean approach to criminology.  It’s challenges the student to enhance their higher-level reading skills.  Ultimately the students should experience improvement in their use of evidence-based methodology through the use of peer-reviewed journal articles referencieng key points in their study of criminological theory.”

“The text is well done and provides a solid overview of criminology. The text is supported by readings in each section  that help  provide students with information that allow them to more fully understand the materials . The material is consice and the point”

“This is a very good text/reader that covers the most important theoretical explanations of criminal behavior and also offers details about various types of crimes and recent crime trends. While using a novel approach to the study of criminal behavior, the book is accessible, logically structured, and thought-provoking. It includes a good selection of contemporary writings that would help students better understand how theories can be applied to explain variations in crime and how research findings may be used to guide social policies.”

“You know how we prefer readers and students prefer texts because the readers don’t resonate with students because they do not know the content well enough? Well, Walsh corrected this problem with his “text/reader.” You willl love it because it gives students the basics in the text section and then two or three articels that more throughly explain the content and “draws a picture” of the content. It is the perfect combination of both. Personally, I love it.”

“I chose this text/reader even though it is not entirely based on the sociological perspective. Criminology is interdisciplinary and my students come from many different disciplines. This text is a good balance for me and my students.”

“An introductory criminology textbook that is suited for students with various levels of knowledge and skills. What separates this intro book is the practical use of journal articles to foster both critical thinking and application skills; students would find these articles relevant and readable as well.”

“This is a great text for professors who use a textbook as a starting point in their classrooms. Some professors prefer a text to provide them with everything they need to teach a class and rely on the information in the book to give students the bulk of the information. Professors wanting that kind of text may not be happy. However, for professors who use the text as a means of providing students with fundamental, easily explained theoretical concepts and application to research that can then be expanded upon in class in a variety of ways…this text is great.”
