"Canadian Criminology is a marvelously current, accessible, and thought-provoking textbook that highlights the social construction of crime and challenges pre-conceived, naturalized, notions of crime and society. It will inspire students from a wide variety of backgrounds to take an interest in the application of criminological theory, methods and research to the analysis of emerging issues related to crime." --Dan Small, University of British Columbia "Winterdyk is effective at demonstrating relevance for the various concepts, theories and issues within criminology using an interdisciplinary approach. The very current and relevant issues are discussed in a way that links theory to real life events that students can relate to." --Shereen Hassan, Kwantlen Polytechnic University "Winterdyk has done an even better job in this edition of linking Criminology to Canadian theorists and researchers, using Canadian criminological phenomena as examples and linking criminological theories to Canadian laws, criminal justice policies, and historical and current real-world occurrences." --Wayne Hanniman, University of Ottawa "Canadian Criminology is an excellent introductory text for students just learning about our criminal justice system. It has wonderful tools and resources that assist the professor in keeping their students engaged in the content and the curriculum." --Angela Peterson, Algonquin College
