This book brings together the most recent advances in theory and research on the relationship between social inequality and the control of criminal behavior, exploring the ways in which social class, race, gender, and age shape societal and organizational responses to crime.
Designed for undergraduate juvenile delinquency courses, this book actively involves students in the literature of the discipline, presents the field in a format that is accessible, understandable, and enjoyable, and is edited by well-known scholars who are experienced researchers and teachers. * The readings in this anthology have been very carefully edited and pruned by the Editors so that undergraduate students can easily read them without getting bogged down or confused and lost in the technical, methodological details. * At no additional cost, we have included 5 substantial data analysis exercises spread throughout the book. These exercises not only teach students the basic of SPSS, the "standard" data analysis software in social science, but also show them how they can test the delinquency theories and propositions covered in the reader, using current delinquency data packaged with the book. This absolutely unique feature is structured into fill-in-the-blank exercise sets that are easy to grade for large numbers of students by a single instructor. * Over 150 very good questions have been put together for the readings so that instructors can easily test, even in large courses, whether or not their students are keeping up with the reading. * A separate instructor's manual (with more tests) is also available.
Presents the field accurately and completely in a way that is understandable to undergraduates. Includes a rich collection of carefully edited classic and contemporary articles. Contains framing essays written by the Editors.
Shows students how to: analyse issues in criminal justice using current GSS General Social Survey data - analyse issues in drug and alcohol use on campus using the Harvard School of Public Health College Alcohol Study and use SPSS, the most widely used professional software in criminal justice.
Brand new research! The sequel to last year's runaway bestseller in this hot new field focuses on the rapid progress that has been made in the following areas of physical chemistry: theory, new materials, surfaces and interfaces, and processing. More than 100 scientists from major research groups have contributed to this timely volume, on this second anniversary of the discovery of these remarkable materials. This research was presented at the ACS National Meeting in Los Angeles in September 1988.
