The ninth edition of Barlow and Kauzlarich continues the tradition
of presenting the field of criminology to students with a
combination of intellectual excitement and contemporary flair. This
is an outstanding textbook!
*Ronald C. Kramer, Professor of Sociology and Director of the
Criminal Justice Program at Western Michigan University*
In the latest edition of Kauzlarich and Barlow's Introduction to
Criminology, we are treated to one of the richest sources of
information and scholarly reflections about the nature, meaning,
scope, and causes of crime and criminal behavior available. The
text is ripe with contemporary empirical research characterizing
various forms of street crime, white collar crime, crime by the
government, public order crime, and crimes by juveniles, females,
and adults in general. In sum, I strongly recommend this book for
use in classrooms.
*Gary Feinberg, chair, The Department of Social Sciences and
Counseling, St. Thomas University*
This superb text offers students an engaging and richly informative
survey of criminology. Its special strengths include a coherent,
well-organized typological approach to crime, systematic exposure
of commonplace myths about criminals and criminal justice, and an
in-depth, critical examination of the whole range of criminological
theories. Kauzlarich and Barlow have made significant, independent
contributions to criminological knowledge.
