"I’ve examined a variety of other popular criminology textbooks but haven’t found any that I like as well. This book really does try to make it easy for students to identify key points, recognize connections between material in different chapters, and find additional material when they find a subject of interest. This is definitely the book I will adopt for my course, because it is well written, comprehensive, and popular with my students.""I adopted this text because it does present the essential "core" of the material in a relatively clear, concise, and usable manner, relevant to the course for which it was selected. It is at once comprehensive, yet not unmanageable." --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
