SOC 245: Crime and Criminals

Where Should I Begin?

Use the database links to the right to locate journal, magazine, and newspaper article citations on criminology. 

Research will be most successful if you can match your topic to the most appropriate journal article database. 

It is also wise to search synonyms for your topic as well as variant word endings:  murder OR murderer OR homicide OR homicidal OR killing OR killer
