Book Review - The Blackwell Companion to Criminology

The Blackwell Companion to Criminology is a comprehensive reference work designed for those interested in the study of crime, and its causes, effects, trends, and institutions. In spite of having a primarily American and European focus, many essays are of a broad and more general nature. Taken together, this edited book is a welcome contribution, and essential reading for those studying elements of criminology and criminal justice.© Blackwell Publishing Ltd. 2005
