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.
