This book is a great referance book for students and people in the field of criminal justice. Not only can it help you acidemicaly but in real life situations. As a criminal justice student I use this book on a daily bases to complete a number of assinments not only for my teach Dr. Rush but other classes as well. I see myself in the future refering to this book often, to gain information about criminal justice related items. Once again I feel this is a great referance book.
