Comprehensive and accessible, Tim Newburn’s bestselling Criminology provides an introduction to the fundamental themes, concepts, theories, methods and events that underpin the subject and form the basis for all undergraduate degree courses and modules in Criminology and Criminal Justice.

This fourth edition includes:

- New chapters on ‘Southern criminology’ reflecting the changing focus on contemporary scholarship and the general trend toward decolonising criminology

- New and updated crime data and analysis of trends, plus new content on recent events such as the changing political landscape, the influence of new social media on events such as the Southport riot and claims of ‘two-tier policing’, together with scandals such as the Grenfell Tower fire and the Lucy Letby case.

- A fully revised and updated companion website, including exam, review and multiple choice questions.

Fully updated to reflect recent developments in the field and extensively illustrated, this authoritative text, written by a leading criminologist and experienced lecturer, is essential reading for all students of Criminology and related fields.

This textbook is supported by an extensive collection of free digital resources at www.routledgelearning.com/criminology. Students can enhance their learning with interactive quizzes, review questions, flashcards, and curated videos and web resources, while instructors can access a comprehensive instructor manual, test bank and PowerPoint slides designed to streamline course preparation.
