This was required for a juvenile delinquency class I took. I am very interested in the concepts in this book but in my opinion the writers did not organize this book very well. The book is random and a bit confusing. I also believe that it is horribly biased and they would often leave out certain details about the case studies they used, some of those case studies were high profile incidents. Almost everything in this book is controversial.

Excellent textbook it fully explains this concept and it is easy to follow

Great class as well and defintitely would take the class again.

required for class. ok book. index had some issues.
