En bra lärobok som gav en bred bild av olika aspekter inom kriminologi. Jävligt nice att Walklate hade med en ordlista för alla begrepp, räddade liv inför tentan.

Jag hade lite svårt att behålla fokus när jag läste, men jag tror det berodde på att mycket som tas upp i
”Criminology - the basics” tas även upp i Sarnecki och Carlssons bok som var betydligt bättre enligt mig.

Some interesting bits, hard to keep focus on. Has many interactive parts for those studying criminology and definitions!
