Key Readings in Criminology provides a comprehensive single-volume collection of readings in criminology.

- in addition it provides students with access to a broad range of materials with which to follow up their reading of their main textbook;
- it includes readings that include more recent summaries of particularly important criminological issues, as well as excerpts from criminological classics;
- it also introduces students not only to criminological argument and debate, but also encourages them to read primary as well as secondary or summary sources.

Product description
Review
'... by far the most comprehensive, contemporary and wide-ranging reader on the market ... I have no doubt that it will prove very successful indeed.' – Dave Edwards, London Metropolitan University
'... it's a terrific collection and nothing nearly as good exists elsewhere.' – Jonathan Simon, University of California Berkeley
'A lot of criminology for little money. It contains so many classics we want our students to read anyway, that it is fair to say it is an excellent buy for anyone studying criminology' – Professor Renvan Swaaningen, Erasmus University, Rotterdam

5.0 out of 5 stars Must have for crim degree students
Verified PurchaseLove this book, contains lots of excerpts from articles which is great for a 1st year crim student as lots to reference and easier to read than Newburns other book. (Got it from a 3rd party seller for a highly reduced price, but tbh it's worth the full price if none are available).

5.0 out of 5 stars Must have for criminology students!
Verified PurchaseAs a criminology student Newburn is a MUST - especially as a starting point. This book provides - as suggested in the title - key readings from various influential and significant academics. The layout is clear and precise. Very helpful. I’ve just finished my second year as a criminology student and I know I’ll still refer to this book in my next, and final, year. Would recommend to any criminology student.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant!
Verified PurchaseVery in depth book. Tim Newburns books always contain fascinating content and always manage to give me information on the subject that i am studying at the time to help me with my assignments. Worth Buying - especially if you're a criminology student!
