Editorial Reviews

Review

"I want you to know that I was very impressed with your method and style of teaching and writing in how you related the particular subjects to events occurring today. Your articulate writing helped me earn an A for my first Criminal Justice class and inspired me to continue in my major. Right now I am also using the 4th edition of your Criminology Today book for my Criminology class. I am now looking into the third chapter. I think you are a great author and I want to thank you for contributing to Criminal Justice academics." -Student @ Forsyth Technical Comm College --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

4.0 out of 5 stars nice introduction to the criminal justice field, September 2, 2000

By	carla (Boston, MA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Criminal Justice: A Brief Introduction (Paperback)

i just bought this book at my campus the other day. I can't put it down. This book is very interesting and laid out nicely, definitions are made clear. i feel as if i am there when i look at the pictures in this book and when i am reading about a particular incident.another thing i like about this book is it combines traditional learning with the author wanting the reader to use the internet.

5.0 out of 5 stars Criminal Justice-paper back, October 3, 2009

By	Victoria H. Leung - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: Criminal Justice: A Brief Introduction (8th Edition) (Paperback)

I am very pleased how fast I was able to receive the book. The price is also cheaper since it is in paper back. Overall I am very pleased. At first I was very skeptical because I got it from the third party but it turned out to be just fine and I am happy. However, I felt that the customer service at Amazon was giving me mix messages on how soon the book will arrive.

Book falls apart. Have had to "GLUE" the pages back weekly. I will buy my college books from the book store from now on. Not worth the money I saved!
