This reader includes up-to-date selections of material for a criminology course. The selection covers: juvenile gangs, white-collar crime, sources of criminal behaviour, violent crime, drugs, deterrence, treatment and punishment; and issues of class, gender and race. Selections are co-ordinated with material which appears in basic criminology textbooks. Users may consult a chart in the preface which shows how to assign the selections, which are designed to supplement such texts.
