Who is the Critical Criminology poster for?
Critical Criminology belongs to the Criminal Justice section rather than to a school year, because law & society is not something one grade owns. Anyone learning criminological theory can pin it up — a beginner, a student mid-course, or someone revising years later.
When should you use the Critical Criminology poster?
Use it to widen a question from why people offend to why acts are criminalised. A wall chart earns its place by being glanceable from where the work is happening, so Critical Criminology belongs on the wall where that law & society work actually happens, within glancing distance, rather than filed away.

Is the Critical Criminology poster free to download and print?
Yes. Critical Criminology downloads as a free PDF with no account, no email and no watermark, like everything else in the Criminal Justice section.

What size does the Critical Criminology poster print at?
Critical Criminology is a vector PDF laid out for US Letter, and prints on A4 with Fit to page — the same file, no separate download. Because every mark on it is drawn rather than photographed, it stays sharp enlarged to A3, A2 or A1 at a copy shop. Colour carries emphasis only, so a greyscale print of Critical Criminology loses nothing.Printing guide
