Description

Intended for undergraduates in criminology, criminal justice, and sociology classes, "Just the Basics" is a refreshingly brief, concise and straightforward introduction to classic theories of crime. Unlike other theory textbooks which go into more depth and/or breadth than necessary for an introductory class, Just the Basics is just an "introduction" in the truest sense of the word. Professionals who work with and for potential, alleged or convicted criminals will find the insights provided by the classic theorists covered in the book useful as well. This edition has two more chapters and costs considerably less than the first edition.
