Editorial Reviews

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." --This text refers to an alternate Hardcover edition.

1.0 out of 5 stars Very Biased info, November 1, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This text is regrettably one of the worst books I have ever needed for any class! The information is clearly biased racially mostly against certain ethnic groups. To further this bias, the text offers statistical information which is not skewed correctly, or would lead one to get an incorrect full picture. In other words VERY SLANTED information. A clear example is on page 180 of the 10th edition. Total up those percentages with current census data to get a much clearer (and quite different)picture......this is one clear example! It continues throughout the entire text!

2.0 out of 5 stars Correctional Counseling & Rehabilitation 5th. edition
I felt that was too much to pay for a book that did not have a cover. I was really disapointed, but I guess it beats paying the full price.
