Excellent book

Fairly easy reading, interesting, excellent examples, enjoyable. I really liked this book. I defiantly recommend it!

an old text but excellent survey

too frugal to purchase a more current edition, i plunked down $4. this was a fine undergraduate introduction to the criminal justice system and psychological applications therein. a light read, often entertaining. an excellent survey of the field, although, the common complaint of survey texts that it doesn't "do justice" (bad pun) to enough topics could be argued here, too. it helped me to identify some topics about which i'd like to learn more and it identified some useful sources.
