This handbook engages key debates in Australian and New Zealand
criminology over the last 50 years. In six sections, containing
56 original chapters, leading researchers and practitioners
investigate topics such as the history of criminology; crime and
justice data; law reform; gangs; youth crime; violent, white
collar and rural crime; cybercrime; terrorism; sentencing;
Indigenous courts; child witnesses and children of prisoners;
police complaints processes; gun laws; alcohol policies; and
criminal profiling. Key sections highlight criminological theory
and, crucially, Indigenous issues and perspectives on criminal
justice. Contributors examine the implications of past and
current trends in official data collection, crime policy, and
academic investigation to build up an understanding of
under-researched and emerging problem areas for future research.
An authoritative and comprehensive text, this handbook
constitutes a long-awaited and necessary resource for dedicated
academics, public policy analysts, and university students.
