Introduction to Criminology: Why Do They Do It?

by Pamela J. Schram, Joseph A. Schwartz, Stephen G. Tibbetts

Introduction to Why Do They Do It? presents a comprehensive and integrated approach to introductory criminology. Acclaimed authors and professors Pamela J. Schram and Stephen G. Tibbetts skillfully connect criminological theories to real-life cases to help students better understand criminology fundamentals. They thoroughly introduce theoretical perspectives that explain criminal behavior and are most respected by modern criminologists, while illustrating the theories with real-life examples such as street violence and property crimes. This text also includes many contemporary topics that are not well represented in competing texts, such as cybercrime, hate crimes, white-collar crime, homeland security, and identity theft.

Read this for school. It was informative. My teacher actually used the material from it to teach so it was helpful.
