CrimComics 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. Using a fictional criminal investigation, Issue 9: Psychosocial Theories introduces the topics of IQ, personality, psychopathy, and mental illness and how they relate to criminal behavior.
