Features: Guided by the fundamental viewpoints of Marxism-Leninism on crime, this textbook fully reflects China's governance strategy of combining rule of law with rule of virtue, as well as the comprehensive approach to maintaining social order. It closely connects with the actual situation and practical experience of combating crime in China, and is designed in line with the needs of legal education for undergraduate students. The book comprehensively, systematically, and deeply discusses the relevant content of criminology, divided into five parts and thirty-one chapters: Introduction, Theory of Criminal Phenomena, Theory of Criminal Causes, Theory of Criminal Prevention, and Theory of Criminal Types. It not only elaborates on the basic issues of criminology, such as its concepts, objects, development, types, and characteristics, but also focuses on revealing the causes of crime and countermeasures. On this basis, it specifically introduces the concepts, characteristics, causes, and prevention of ten major types of crime: juvenile crime, gang crime, corporate crime, economic crime, violent crime, terrorist crime, organized crime with gangster-like characteristics, sexual crime, female crime, and cybercrime. The content of the book is extensive and appropriately challenging, making it suitable as a textbook for law students at various levels in higher education institutions, as well as for reading by people from all walks of life.
