Criminology, CDN Edition

This title is now available in a NEW EDITION - 0071319034. In some ways, criminals are not all that different from "non criminals," except that environmental, social, and other factors have joined together in a particular configuration to produce criminal behaviours. So criminals are not really so different from the rest of us: like links in a chain, we are all interconnected by our humanity. It follows then, that a more humanistic stance toward understanding and dealing with such deviant and criminal behaviours is in the best interest of society's members. The Canadian edition of Criminology is a student-first text, rich with pedagogical elements that promote and foster critical thinking. Building on the strong foundation of the US edition, the work of Canadian critical criminologists is discussed in some detail. The chapter on white collar crime in particular draws on the many Canadian examples that exist, from Conrad Black's exploits to the Walkerton tragedy and the mercury poisoning suffered by First Nations groups in Canada. Many would argue that white collar and corporate offences have been on the periphery of the field of criminology—but not for much longer.
