Criminology

Welcome

Welcome to the subject guide for Criminology. This guide is designed to direct you to the essential resources for your subject .  The guide has been compiled by your Subject Librarian.

The guide has been divided into different sections such as books,  journal articles and web resources. When selected each of these tabs  expands to give you a further menu with more specific options such as 'books new to the library' or key information databases.

This guide covers the core resources you need for day-to-day study and research.  However, you may sometimes find other subject guides useful for specialised topics. For more information about library services and facilities generally see the Library Online pages on MyHallam.

What to do if a book is not available in the Library

If there's a book which you need but which we don't have in stock, we can ask another library to loan you a copy, or to email you a copy of an individual chapter or section. This can be done through our document supply service.

If you think a book may be useful for other students or staff as well as yourself, you can also request that the Library buys a copy. We can't promise to buy everything but will do what we can for feasible requests which are relevant to courses at Sheffield Hallam.

What to do if a journal article is not available in the Library

If we don't have a journal article or conference proceeding in stock, we can ask another library to email a copy to you via our Document Supply Service. While it may not be possible to get absolutely everything, the vast majority of articles can be obtained this way.
