Crime & Criminology: An Introduction to Theory (Third Canadian Edition) by Rob White, Lauren Eisler, and Fiona Haines provides a comprehensive introduction to criminological theory. This book examines key criminological perspectives, including classical, biological, psychological, and sociological theories, while also exploring contemporary approaches such as feminist, critical, and cultural criminology.
The third Canadian edition places a strong emphasis on real-world applications, using Canadian examples and case studies to illustrate how criminological theories help explain crime, deviance, and criminal justice policies. It integrates discussions on the changing nature of crime, such as cybercrime and environmental crime, making the book relevant for modern criminology students.
Designed for undergraduate criminology and criminal justice courses, the book is accessible yet academically rigorous, making it a valuable resource for students, educators, and professionals interested in understanding crime from a theoretical perspective.
