Reviews

With so many criminology texts to choose from, this book provides a unique perspective that emphasizes criminal law, critical thinking, and the relevance of theory for criminal justice policy and practice. Its integration of concrete legal vignettes and real life case studies provide provocative examples that will help students better understand how crime is socially constructed, and to see how crime and policy impact society, as well as their own lives. Karen G. Weiss, Associate Professor, Department of Anthropology and Sociology, West Virginia University Bringing together theories and typologies of offending with research and practical implications, Criminology: Connecting Research, Theory, and Practice illuminates for our students the how and why of crime and justice. Hass, Moloney, and Chambliss use lively case studies to engage readers with real-world illustrations of the criminal justice system and explanations for criminal behavior. Their working in feature allows students a rare glimpse into the daily activities of practitioners in the system and the crime in global perspective feature provides an important international context. With attention to emerging forms of offending, such as terrorism and cybercrime, as well as contemporary issues facing practitioners of courts, policing, and corrections, this is one of the most comprehensive texts in the field. Jamie J. Fader, Assistant Professor, Department of Criminal Justice, Temple University Hass, Moloney and Chambliss's Criminology: Connecting Theory, Research and Practice connects theory, research and real-world application in a way that no other book does. It is written in a style that is perfect for undergraduates in criminology or criminal justice courses, or for any practitioners in criminal justice generally.

Krohn, Program/Intern Coordinator, Department of Sociology, The University of Georgia In this new edition of Criminology: Connecting Theory, Research and Practice, Hass, Moloney and Chambliss once again offer a phenomenal instructional resource helping students to truly grasp criminology. Connecting theory to the importance of research and its practical implications illuminates the excitement of the field, making theory relevant to future practitioners and scholars. This is a must-have text for criminology courses. Jennifer C. Gibbs, Assistant Professor, School of Public Affairs, Penn State Harrisburg
