4.0 out of 5 stars Requires a Place in Your Reference Library, June 12, 2003

By	Blake S. Howald (Ann Arbor, MI United States) - See all my reviews

Seth Goldstein's "The Sexual Exploitation of Children" focuses multidisciplinary approaches to this problem into one easy to use comprehensive volume. As a law student, the chapter on search warrants and, in particular, the chapter on case management with appendices provides especially useful examples and guides.
I would have given Goldstein's book 5 stars, but due to many grammatical errors and poor proofreading I could not escape the unprofessioinal feel which is disappointing. Despite this drawback, however, the usefulness of this book far outweighs a marginally poor editor. If you work in the field of combating the sexual exploitation of children this book is required, no question.
