Emma Russell

A book of poems on love, loss and happiness

Grim Mortem dislikes the fact she is being forced to attend Elderwall Boarding College, the next step for any new Magus who wishes to take their place amongst the Order. It's not that she doesn't LIKE the idea of furthering her education, but it's more of the fact that she cannot use magick to save her life.However, as she finds herself surrounded by new company, she discovers that not everything in her world is as it seems. She always said that things didn't add up, that the Order and her life as a Magus didn't make sense. But what if that wasn't just her imagination...what if it was true?When a mysterious group called the Order of Chaos starts asking the same questions she does, Grim finds herself down a dangerous path as she finds the answers she has always been looking for. The truth can be dangerous, however. Soon, Grim has a choice to make, and her decision could change her entire world.

Crime, Deviance and Society: An Introduction to Sociological Criminology offers a comprehensive introduction to criminological theory. The book introduces readers to key sociological theories, such as anomie and strain, and examines how traditional approaches have influenced the ways in which crime and deviance are constructed. It provides a nuanced account of contemporary theories and debates, and includes chapters covering feminist criminology, critical masculinities, cultural criminology, green criminology, and postcolonial theory, among others. Case studies in each chapter demonstrate how sociological theories can manifest within and influence the criminal justice system and social policy. Each chapter also features margin definitions and timelines of contributions to key theories, reflection questions and end-of-chapter questions that prompt students reflection. Written by an expert team of academics from Australia, New Zealand and the United Kingdom, Crime, Deviance and Society is a highly engaging and accessible introduction to the field for students of criminology and criminal justice.
