Criminology - A Critical Understanding of Crime

Hi, I'm Tony Sale, a former law-enforcement officer. For professional reasons and passion, I've been studying crime for many years. Now, I decided to share with you what I've learned.

This criminology course provides more than 4 hours of video, every topic is covered with videos, statistics, case studies. The course uses theory, research, to determine why people commit crimes. It also explores the social impact of crimes on victims and communities and goes on to consider how social scientists and criminologists, study and seek to understand problems of crime.
