Criminology & Policing

Key subject resources for Policing

You can browse many of the key journals for Policing via BrowZine. There is no specific category for Policing, so you want to explore the general category for Criminology and Criminal Justice, which will contain many relevant journals.

There are also subheadings for topics such as forensic science, juvenile justice, victims and victimology etc. You may also want to browse other categories such as Psychology or Sociology for journals in related areas.

 

These are the eBook databases containing content specifically relating to law and criminal justice. To see all of the eBook databases available, click on 'View More Results' to go to the complete A-Z listing of all of the Library's eResources. You can then use the central filter option to filter the results by resource type and select 'eBooks'.
