4.0 out of 5 stars
Endlessly engrossing,
By Andrew Vosburg "Andy" (Chicago, IL) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Encyclopedia of World Crime: Criminal Justice, Criminology, & Law Enforcement (Hardcover)
I'm not a crime historian and can't comment on the quality of the scholarship, but the author supports the entries with many citations. The prose is readable, albeit in need of editing and marred with the typos and misprints one expects to afflict the first edition of such a large work. Truly encyclopedic, it covers everything from forgeries to defenestrations, and most pages are illustrated (with everything from woodcuts of 18th-century executions to headshots of criminals and victims famous and obscure). The author obviously loves the subject and has dug deep to fill this treasure-chest for the crime-obsessed mind.
