“Perhaps the highest compliment I can offer is that I have been teaching this course for 15 years but learned a good deal of new information. . . The book is scholarly, well written, interesting, and of appropriate length and depth for a survey class.” -- Dr. Mike Aamodt, Radford University
“The text is very good overall. In addition, any points I usually have to remember to discuss because they are not covered in my current texts, are covered well in this book. . . . Students want to know how certain offenders differ from non-offenders and other types of offenders. The authors speak to this desire for knowledge, while freely admitting the limits of the field′s knowledge. Well done!” -- Dr. Kelly Goodness
