Create a flyer for "Applied Criminology"

This book has been added as recommended reading but also included in the general list of books which we recommend to students for use throughout their degree. There are few textbooks explictly exploring applied criminology and this has to be one of the best available.

This test has now been added to my students recommended reading list. A text which will follow them throughout their criminological journey

A useful book which helps inform the step from theory to practice and allows students to see how the more academic theories can apply in a modern world.

I am hoping to use this text on the criminology module. It is relevant and easy to follow. I don't think it will be the key text though.

Easy to digest, good analysis of a range of issues discussed within Criminology.

This is an accessible text which offers an excellent overview of criminology in its applied form. It unpicks the relationship between theory, research, policy and practice and considers the contradictions and implications therein. I consider this an excellent book for students and practitioners alike.

The authors have created a learning resource that will help students make the link between theory and policy. This text provides a strong introduction to the subject and is written in a way that interacts with students. Providing chapter summaries, highlighting key terms and definitions, providing case studies and references for further reading has made this an important text for Criminology students.

A well edited text with some very useful contributions by key academics in the field. The boxes for chapter summaries and key points are very helpful for students new to the topic.

Excellent, comprehensive book which really does the author proud. My students will find this helpful as a great introduction to the application of criminology

I liked the individual articles that discussed various forms of application. These discussions were thorough and addressed some important applicaton issues. I used the book in my criminology course last semester (Fall 2009). I will teach the course again next Fall 2010 and will consider using it again. My only issue was that the students did not find it as well received as I. It did focus on a UK point of view, which I think resulted in a little bit of indifference for my students since it wasn't a comparative course.
