This is by far the best criminological theory book to date on environmental theories and criminal analysis. The editors did a superb job at gathering the perfect authors for each section respectively. Great book for general knowledge in the field or for a theory class supplement at the post-graduate level. Also, seller was great, highly recommend.

I read this book as part of a promotional study list. Later that year I started working on my Master of Science in Criminal Justice. This book was helpful for the promotion exam and in writing a couple of papers during my program.

This is a collection of the best names in the business. Everyone I read about in my graduate classes is in here, and it is all pretty readable, considering they are all the big names. Some chapters are a bit quirky, but on the whole this is essential reading for environmental criminologists and anyone who really wants to understand crime and what to do about it.
