The New Criminal Justice, edited by John Klofas, (Rochester Institute of Technology,) Natalie Kroovand Hipple and Edmund McGarrell (both Michigan State University) is an ideal text for both graduate and undergraduate courses in Criminal Justice.

Public Criminology? by Ian Loader (Centre for Criminological Research) and Richard Sparks (University of Edinburgh) is a new addition to the Key Ideas in Criminology series and will be important not only to those who work in the fields of crime, security and punishment, but to anyone interested in the vexed relationship between social science, public policy and politics.

Written from a biosocial persepctive that views nature and nurture as the heads and tails our development and existence, Social Class and Crime examines the class-crime relationship.
