Rating:  - Horrible text book
Don't buy...too much rhetoric and fluff. We are using texxt in a college class and I wish the course was over. This book is extremely difficult to follow and understand.
Rating: - A must for CRJ majors
This book is really good and it explains criminology in a way that a normal person would understand it.
Rating: - criminology book
This book is alright but the reading is kinda boring.The subject is very interesting and I think that there could be a better book to go with it. The author uses words that a lot of people don't hear very often. He uses the word hence alot.
