Superb for teachers and students of criminology December 31, 2007
U. Smartt (London, UK)
6 out of 6 found this review helpful
Tim Newburn's volumous yet lively `Criminology' (2007) serves as an excellent introduction to all current themes in criminology. Chapter 1 `understanding crime and criminology' serves as a comprehensive introduction to criminology for students who are either new to the subject or need a quick revision guide to criminology. The textbook covers all popular areas found in criminology and criminal justice, illustrated by graphics, photographs and newspaper extracts. I have certainly recommended it to all my criminology students at all levels of study at Thames Valley University. Ursula Smartt, Senior Lecturer at Law and Criminology.
The Last Word in Criminology Textbooks July 2, 2008

Newburn's `Criminology' is the last word in criminology textbooks. Enjoyable to read, comprehensive and authoritative, Newburn's `Criminology' is a real subject `bible'. Newburn's highly accessible style means that complex information is explained clearly without losing depth. The plentiful, varied and original illustrations help to bring concepts, writers and the subject as a whole to life. An excellent resource throughout a criminology degree, Newburn's `Criminology' represents absolute value for money and I highly recommend it to all criminology students.

The Bible for every Criminology student December 7, 2007

This book is the best book i have ever bought and it will remain on my bookshelf forever. This is the most accessible and up to date book there is about criminology for those students who have just begun their studies. Newburn covers pretty much every topic there is surrounding criminology but he makes it simple to read. Therefore, it is a great book to look at when you are beginning your essay research as it explains each topic very well, giving you good foundations to build on, but he also includes other academics work to give you clues as to who's work you should look at next.
At my university this book was the most bought book in Waterstone's this term.
Anyone considering buying this book should not dither but just go for it because i promise it will not disappoint or seem like a waste of money.
'CRIMINOLOGY' June 19, 2008
Mr. K. Rogers
Another excellent publication by Willan. Tim Newburn has provided a most informative interesting book on 'Criminology'. Fantastic 'bibliography' together with a useful index to the one thousand pages.
Essential reading for criminolgy students and of interest to members of the criminal justice system.
A useful guide for my bookshelf to assist me in my research.

A thorough account of `Criminology' provided by a true scholar June 29, 2008
A. Brunton (London)
'Criminology' is written in a gentle and generous style. It takes the novice student of criminology and leads them through what can appear a somewhat intimidating discipline with its diverse roots in social policy, law, sociology and psychology. It's clear that Newburn is delighted in his subject matter and makes every effort to educate but also challenge the reader. This work will only add to the teaching and learning of criminology. I cannot recommend it highly enough.
