Reviews"I am in love with your CrimComics. The idea and execution are simply amazing. Internalizing theories and their structure is difficult, and remembering them over time is even more so. These graphic novels make it so much more relaxing to remind myself of theoretical concepts I may not have grasped fully while trudging through Vold's Theoretical Criminology. Thank you for CrimComics, they are amazing. I plan to use them for a long time."--Mark A. Speers, Graduate Research Assistant, Michigan State University "I think students will be thrilled to have CrimComics, something fresh and original that has been adapted to their generation of learners."--Anna Devita, University of North Carolina, Charlotte, "I am in love with your CrimComics.

SynopsisCrimComics offers a new way to approach criminological theory by engaging students with impactful, highly visual illustrated texts. Each CrimComics Issue traces the development of the theory--placing it in social and political context--and demonstrates its application to the real world. The last page of each Issue features review questions and key terms., Criminological theory is a core component of the CJ/crim curriculum; a least one course on the topic is typically required for a four-year degree. But theory can be a dry subject, disconnected from the real world and hard for students to understand or relate to. The proposed project offers a new way to teach this material, engaging students with brief, highly visual illustrated texts. The authors propose a series of 13 "comic books," each issue on a particular type of criminological theory. Each fully illustrated volume will trace the development of the theory, placing it in social and political context, and explain how it applies to the real world. As noted by reviewers, the visual nature of the project, along with the focus on real-world relevance, should be appealing to students while still conveying the key concepts instructors need to impart.
