Customer Reviews

Dr. VandenBos is why crime has fallen in the last 30 years.

Another masterwork from the master of psychological reasoning. Dr. VandanBos takes basic principles of psychology and shows how they can be applied to fighting crime. Dr. VandenBos has taken his long years of working for PsychInfo and come up with a variety of values that can be useful for not only dealing with crime but motivating cubicle workers. The sections on respect for the individual, treating everyone with dignity and providing high paying jobs should be read carefully. However, I must caution that the section on technology and crime is a little too optimistic. Still the book provides a lot of bang for the buck.
