Riassunto:

Criminal Typologies: Exploring Crime and Criminal Behavior provides students with an insightful exploration into the study of crime types and criminals.

The text is organized into five modules. The opening module discusses the academic study of crime types and criminals, key issues in the study of crime, and the process of developing a criminal typology. Module 2 focuses on violent crime profiles, with chapters that cover crimes of an interpersonal nature, including homicide and assault, rape and sexual assault, and robbery. In Modules 3 and 4, students learn about property and drug crime profiles, as well as cyber and environmental crime profiles, respectively. The final module delves into crimes of power, offering profiles of organized and state crime. Each chapter features objectives, key terms, opening questions, true crime case studies, key takeaways, and summary questions to inspire greater levers of student engagement and understanding of the material.

Designed to provide students with an enlightening and concise introduction, Criminal Typologies is an ideal resource for courses and programs in criminal justice, criminology, and sociology.
