This review is from: Criminology and the Criminal Justice System (Paperback)
This book was in good condition but I had to get it for my criminology class. It has bigger words, shorter chapters and it is a little easier to understand than most sociology books. By that I mean its not an overwhelming amount of material in each chapter. I am a sociology major and so far this book is very good for this class.
