This is 'the' book for criminal justice

By Edwin J. O'Farrell on April 14, 2013

Format: Paperback Verified Purchase

This is a landmark book in American history and should be required reading for anyone with even a passing interest in criminal justice. Wilson's seminal work changed forever the delivery of police services to the public. This book stood conventional wisdom on it's head and provided the template for criminal justice reforms for the past 40 years.
