Review "This is a very innovative way to approach theory.

It is really clever in its pedagogical approach, balancing concise and accurate exposition with interesting historical vignettes."--Paul Kaplan, San Diego State University"I think students will be thrilled to have CrimComics, something fresh and original that has been adapted to their generation of learners."--Anna Devita, University of North Carolina, Charlotte Promotional CrimComics helps todays students understand challenging criminological theories with comics that are fun, engaging, and pedagogically sound Review Quote "This is a very innovative way to approach theory.
