Fundamentals of Criminology

Author: Rommel K. Manwong
Published by: Wisemans Books Trading, Inc.
Edition: 4th Edition, Year 2013

The focus of this book is on crime, criminal behavior, the treatment of criminal behaviors, the basic tools in crime detection and investigation, law and law enforcement and related disciplines. This will be useful not only for criminology students but also for researchers who have the same interest in exploring crime and its related issues. However, this is designed to give emphasis on the basic concepts that are essential in taking the Criminology Licensure Examination under Philippine laws.

This 4th edition is an updated, enhanced, and improved work on the essential elements of study in criminology required in the first year criminology course. As usual, it covers introductory topics on criminal sociology, criminal psychology, corrections administration, criminal law, and law enforcement with an insertion of the criminalistic subjects.

The presentation in this book is made simple and easy for students to grasp the course and have the bird’s eye view of the field of Philippine criminology. It is also designed in order that the class handler can easily facilitate classroom use. Hence, this book is practically handy with an “instructor’s convenience” so that it may be useful as a textbook rather than a mere reference material. 

My Quizzer in Criminology: A Reviewer

By: Rommel K. Manwong
Published by: Wisemans Books Trading, Inc
Series IV - 2011 edition
Series V -  2013 edition


Both series IV and V have the same purpose with the other previous quizzers. They are intended to help the students in criminology familiarize themselves on the kind of examination they will face when they take the Licensure examination in criminology. They are designed in such a way that the examinee-reviewee would be able to appreciate the nature of the criminology board examination. It will give him first hand information on the type of examination and the manner of questioning which will eventually guide him to make his focus and observe practical and analytical thinking.

The quizzer books contain questionnaires in all major criminology subjects. The questions are arranged in an orderly manner, which follows the categories in the Licensure examination in criminology as per PRC syllabi. Some of the questions were extracted from the previous criminology board examinations for purposes of a “diagnostic examination”. This will allow the examinee-reviewee make a self-assessment and prepared himself before taking the criminology board examination.
