i ordered this book over a month before i received an email stating that the book had been returned to sender. they stated that it was because i had a faulty address. i've ordered many mail order products using my same address and have never had an item returned. and then, the company refunded my purchase price but not the shipping. it wasn't my fault but they chose to penalize me anyways. i will never order anything from this company again!!!

I find it hard to believe this book was edited before it was sent to the publisher. For a college text book, there are multiple mistakes. It refers to modern day Native Americans as Indians. The pictures are something to be laughed at. There are pictures showing officers standing around with their hands in their pockets, male suspects laughing as they are being searched by female officers; the cover has an officer appearing to be using "community policing" while sitting on the back of his patrol car. I have yet to run into a department where that is exceptable. There are many more law enforcment books out there with more information, that is better put togeather, and not such a bore to read. But, I guess if your class calls for this book, you have no choice.
