Annotation

Criminology is the scientific study of the nature, extent, causes and control criminal behavior in both he individual and in society. Criminology is an interdisciplinary fielding the behavioral sciences, drawing especially upon the research of sociologists (particularly in the sociology of deviance) and social anthropologists as well as on writing in law. Nowadays, as society throughout the world is much more developed than about an century ago, everyone agrees that fighting crime gets more and more sensitive and it is not simply "catch and imprison" work anymore. Modern approach considers also that offender is a member of the society, that after imprisonment they need rehabilitation, since the main goal is not to only punish someone, but to prevent them from re-committing a crime. Another very important point is taking care about witnesses and victims. Very often they might get really serious stress and it is concern of police and psychologists to help them recover. This book is an addition to the scarce indigenous literature available in this crucial area, prepared mostly on the basis of author's own empirical studies on different aspects of crime. It covers not only those themes which are traditionally prescribed at postgraduate level but also includes some new topics like crimes against women, political crime, youth and crime, and the police, etc.
