The Long Divergence - How Islamic Law Held Back the Middle East

This text presents the fundamentals of criminal investigation and provides a sound method for reconstructing a past event (i.e., a crime) based on three major sources of information - people, physical evidence and records. More than a simplistic introductory text, yet written in an easy-to-read, user-friendly format, it offers a broad approach to criminal investigation.

• Dozens of photographs, graphics, table, charts and diagrams supplement the text.
• A glossary elaborates on terms found in the text, gathered into one handy reference.

As crime continues to be a high profile issue troubling politicians, the public and the media alike, the study of criminology has boomed. Providing an international and comparative introduction to the discipline, Criminology: The Basics is an accessible guide to the theoretical and practical approaches to the phenomena of crime. Topics covered in this new edition include:

• challenging myths about crime and offenders
• the search for criminological explanation
• thinking about the victim of crime
• introduction to critical criminology
• crime prevention and the future of crime control
• looking to the future, cultural criminology and terrorism.

Easy to read, concise and supported by a glossary of terms and pointers to further reading, Criminology: The Basics is a perfect introduction to this important and popular subject.
