Review
"A clear strength in the Siegel text compared to others I've used is that it gets to the theoretical heart of the matter in explaining the theories, citing current examples of their empirical validity, and providing applied examples that place the particular theory in a real and working context. The Siegel text impresses me in its ability to expose the student to theoretical ideas in an uncomplicated manner."
"
I think the overall lack of student difficulty comes again from Siegel's ability to write clearly and efficiently thus retaining student attention"
"
a comprehensive and current text that presents criminology in a clear interdisciplinary manner that will appeal to those interested in scientific versus ideological academic instruction. The text is extremely readable and visually interesting and should appeal to college students who likely are taking criminology as an introductory course. The text could also be used in an upper-level criminology course depending on what the students may have been required to take earlier in their program of study."
"I love using this book."
"It's the best book on the market."
