It covers essential ground in an accessible and interesting fashion. So much so that it is a core text for students studying criminological theories. Kareen Corteen, School of Law, Liverpool John Moores University ? This clearly written introduction is a welcome addition. Pamela Ugwudike presents complex ideas in an accessible fashion, revealing the weighty contribution of critical perspectives within criminology and including under-represented feminist and critical race theories. Professor Mary Bosworth, University of Oxford & Editor, Theoretical Criminology Ugwudike has done an excellent job, drawing together many of the radical, critical and conflict voices and perspectives in criminology, while evaluating them in a way that will be both interesting and accessible for readers.
