Taking an interdisciplinary approach, the third edition of Canadian Criminology draws on a wealth of contemporary research, powerful examples and case studies, and the very latest Canadian statistics to provide a comprehensive introduction to criminology and the state of crime in Canada today.Designed to encourage students to think critically about the way we view and tackle crime, the text balances the theoretical underpinnings of the discipline with coverage of its real-world applications in order to bring criminology to life for readers new to the field.
