Understanding Criminology

Booknews

Although the author focuses upon the study of right realism (where the emphasis is put upon the individual), left realism (concerned with the interaction between individual and society), and feminist criminology, she also treats aspects of criminology such as positivist, radical, and Marxist theories; victimology; socio-economic status; the role of the family; and the changing nature of relationship between the citizen and the state.
