Comprehensive, Informative and easy to read - By: Mrs. V. M. Page, 11 Nov 2008 
For someone who had not studied for many years Tim Newburn's books were an amazing find. I am still hooked on buying his books despite the fact I have already graduated. His easy style of writing made study something to look forward to. Many thanks Tim.
The Last Word in Criminology Textbooks - By: Dr. K. Williams, 02 Jul 2008 Newburn's `Criminology' is the last wordin criminology textbooks. Enjoyable to read, comprehensive & authoritative, Newburn's `Criminology' is a real subject `bible'. Newburn's highly accessible style means that complex information is explained clearly without losing depth. The plentiful, varied & original illustrations help to bring concepts, writers & the subject as a whole to life. An excellent resource throughout a criminology degree, Newburn's `Criminology' represents absolute value for money & I highly recommend it to all criminology students.

A thorough account of `Criminology' provided by a true scholar - By: A. Brunton, 29 Jun 2008 'Criminology' is writtenin a gentle & generous style. It takes the novice student of criminology & leads them through what can appear a somewhat intimidating discipline with its diverse rootsin social policy, law, sociology & psychology. It's clear that Newburn is delightedin his subject matter & makes every effort to educate but also challenge the reader. This work will only add to the teaching & learning of criminology. I cannot recommend it highly enough.

Superb for teachers and students of criminology - By: U. Smartt, 31 Dec 2007 Tim Newburn's volumous yet lively `Criminology' (2007) serves as an excellent introduction to all current themesin criminology. Chapter 1 `understanding crime & criminology' serves as a comprehensive introduction to criminology for students who are either new to the subject or need a quick revision guide to criminology. The textbook covers all popular areas foundin criminology & criminal justice, illustrated by graphics, photographs & newspaper extracts. I have certainly recommended it to all my criminology students at all levels of study at Thames Valley University. Ursula Smartt, Senior Lecturer at Law & Criminology.
