The course has been a great success and we now have ten groups in Y12 and six in Y13, totalling over 360 students. Crime is a fundamental phenomenon that must be investigated, analyzed and explained from all levels. Criminology tries to do this through the study of criminal behavior, of the criminal sanctions that derive from the crime, as well as of the crime itself.

If you have, say, 15 students, they can all still access the eBook, but only 10 of them can access it at the same time.
