It is worthwhile to read these two chapters of Criminology as they provide historical and discipline context. 

They introduce you to different ways of thinking about crime that have been developed by criminologists in the past century and a half.  
While you are reading think about:
  1. How criminology is defined.
  2. Does the study of society help to explain crime?
