The third edition of Canadian Criminology: Strategies and Perspectives incorporates numerous changes, including updated statistics, a more in depth coverage of gender and radical criminology, as well as more material on restorative justice. The new edition has been restructured, now including 18 chapters and new pedagogical features within each chapter.
