Criminology: A Very Short IntroductionCrime is big news. From murder to theft to drug gangs, crime and criminal justice affect the lives of millions of people worldwide. Hardly surprisingly, crime has been pushed high up the public policy agenda across the world. But how can we measure crime, or evaluate the effectiveness of preventative measures? Does the threat of prison reduce someone's likelihood of reoffending, or would rehabilitation be more constructive? In this Very Short
Crime is big news. From murder to theft to drug gangs, crime and criminal justice affect the lives of millions of people worldwide. Hardly surprisingly, crime has been pushed high up the public policy agenda across the world. But how can we measure crime, or evaluate the effectiveness of preventative measures? Does the threat of prison reduce someone's likelihood of reoffending, or would rehabilitation be more constructive? In this Very Short Introduction Tim Newburn considers how we can study trends in crime and use them to inform preventative policy and criminal justice. Analyzing the history of the subject, he reflects on our understanding of crime and responses to crime in earlier historical periods. Considering trends in crime in the developed world, Newburn discusses its causes, exploring the relationship between drugs and crime, analyzing what we know about why people stop offending, and looking at both formal and informal responses to crime. Newburn concludes by discussing what role criminology can plausibly be anticipated to have in crime control and politics, and what its limits are.

Important fit information
Special Size: Midweight, Size: 34W x 30L, Color: Tinted Medium Blue
Be aware that these jeans are loose fit, not fitted through hips and thighs. Excellent quality, well made, great value. But if you are not overweight, if you have a trim build you will NOT like these. They were very baggy and loose around my husband's butt and thighs, so we had to return them. However, if you have a more generous build under your size 34 waist you WILL like these, and the waist has some stretch. I removed one star for calling these fitted through hips and thighs. They're not.

Great fit and value for quality jeans
Special Size: Midweight, Size: 42W x 30L, Color: Tinted Medium Blue
For once I bought a pair of jeans that are super comfortable and feel like I’ve had them for years
I had to return for a shorter size which was no problem and they now fit perfect
Very good quality material like Levi’s or Wranglers not like inferior substitutes
Great value for a quality product

Couldn't get the zipper button open!
Special Size: Midweight, Size: 38W x 30L, Color: Dark Midnight Wash
Returned. They are probably a good product but I have arthritis in my thumbs and it was excruciating to try to undo the button above the fly. I seemed like like the button hole was too small. Maybe a gorilla finished final assembly?

Suprisingly great jeans.
Special Size: Midweight, Size: 29W x 32L, Color: Grey Wash
Love the fit and style of these. The waste is abnormally small, I purchased a 29 but also 30 would have been better. The rest of the fit is great, color is great, good mix between stretchy and stiff.
