Introduction to Criminology

Crime is one of the most debated social problems. But do our ideas correspond to reality? The reader will find the answer to this and similar questions in the publication, which is also a clear introduction to criminology. It highlights a number of myths and half-truths that have traditionally accompanied discussions about crime, perpetrators and victims. The author, who is a member of the Institute for Criminology and Social Prevention in Prague, based his work on the latest domestic and international criminological research. This is also why his work will appeal to anyone interested in the subject. However, it should certainly not escape the attention of students who are studying crime in related social science disciplines. Experts working directly in the field of crime control will also find relevant insights for their work.
