Description
This informative and entertaining book, peppered with personal anecdotes, and rich in case studies, adopts an eclectic approach to studying the causes of crime. Rather than rely on one theoretical position, Ehor Boyanowsky opts to borrow from a variety of theories to arrive at the most effective answer. As a result, even seasoned veterans will learn from this book.
Crime and Criminality employs case studies, both notorious and lesser known, to bring theories to life, and to offer insight into vital contemporary topics like domestic violence, child pornography, genocide, the effect of climate change on crime, and the evolution of cybercrime. Entertaining, and accessible, and comparative in scope, this text is ideal for students and general readers interested in understanding the varied causes of crime. Instructor supports in the form of PowerPoint slides as well as introductions, and summaries for each chapter make this an ideal text for criminology courses.
Advance Praise
“Understanding criminality means understanding how perpetrators think. This book is a highly readable introduction to that end.”
- Don Dutton, Department of Psychology, The University of British Columbia
“Engaging and applicable, Crime and Criminality will appeal to a wide array of students. Particularly excellent, is the texts use of case studies, which will prompt discussion in a classroom environment, and can be accompanied by audio-visual material, news stories, and video material related to current events pertaining to crime and justice in society. Crime and Criminality is a massive asset and a phenomenal teaching tool in the classroom.”
- Daniel Alati, MacEwan University
"Ehor Boyanowsky has provided something to which every criminology or criminal justice student should be exposed, a summary of empirical approaches to the study of human behavior that truly is based in synthesis. The days of single-variable explanations for antisocial or violent behaviors are well behind us; and the field, as well as our students, will benefit from the approach taken in Boyanowsky's book. The breadth and depth of coverage in the text is impressive and true to Boyanowsky’s admirable wit, the writing style makes for an easy-going read. I highly recommend this book for students of human behavior and to those interested in understanding antisocial conduct from a multidisciplinary perspective."
- Joseph L. Nedelec, Ph.D, School of Criminal Justice, University of Cincinnati
