5.0 out of 5 stars
Great text for my Police & Society criminal justice class!,
By Jessica Cantrell (Radford University, VA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Critical Issues in Policing: Contemporary Readings (Paperback)
This text is easy to read and understand. It has aided in teaching the theory of Police and Society in my Radford University class. There's no fluff, but just enough to give you what you need.

This review is from: Critical Issues in Policing: Contemporary Readings (Paperback)
this book was for a college course. i think if the course would've been better then the book may have seemed better. i ended up keeping the book because no one wanted to buy it.
