This review is from: Game over: Strategies for Redirecting Inmate Deception (Paperback)
This book probably hasn't sold much due to the poor reviews. Well, I took a chance and was pleasantly surprised. Game Over is an excellent addition to any ones criminal justice library. First of all, let me say that I am a huge fan of Games Criminals Play which provides a solid foundation and it should be required reading for all in corrections. Game Over adds to the body of knowledge and brings updated research to corrections practitioners. I think the most interesting knowledge contained in this book is the 8 criminal thinking patterns. Most who work in law enforcement will recognize those thinking patterns almost immediately. This book is a great reference for those wishing to extend their knowledge of inmates who manipulate as fresh research is often cited. My only complaint about the book is that it seems to be a little long winded on the manipulation examples, but that is just me. If you learn more from reading examples, then this book would get a 5 star rating. Could it replace Games Criminals Play? I don't think it was meant to do so as it cites that book regularly. If Games Criminals Play is a "must read," then Game Over is a "strongly suggested" and "highly recommended."
