Great book for the mystery writer
The book is easy to understand and has tons of useful information. I used it to make sure I got the "cop stuff" right in my own writing. Anyone who is writing a murder mystery will find this book very helpful. The explanations are clear and concise and it's a fun read even if you don't use all the information. It's also set up so you can go to the information you need rather than searching the whole book.

Informative!!!!
I bought this book to prepare for a victim advocacy course I'm taking and wanted an extra edge and this book does the trick. It's informative, interesting and a good read. I read it from cover to cover within a week and a half and retained the information thanks to how it's written. I highly recommend this book if you are interested in criminology or just want a behind the scenes look at how the criminal justice system works. I learned a wealth of knowledge.

Cover with minor Damage, Seems Interesting, Pages 100% fine
Didn’t get to read yet, but I’m very interested so I’m sure I’ll love it! Cover had some minor damage but all pages are 100%! Interested in entering the law enforcement career.

Great read! Great for class prep! Actually very good to an ADHD touched brain!
This book is easy to understand and comprehend. I would give five stars if I felt it didn't repeat itself. It definitely did a couple times, just rewording same lesson. Didn't happen that many times but when I read that in books, I feel the writer/writers are reaching and trying to just fill pages. Even so, I learned quite a bit. I have really bad ADHD and I get distracted easy, but this was easy to pay attention to for long durations. I appreciate this book immensely. I haven't started my classes yet, but this helped me prepare for sure! Fantabulous!

Great Book!
This book has been really good at clarifying many criminal law concepts. This book was actually better than my Law Text Book. It recognizes where the reader will get confused, and it acts accordingly. Has really alleviated many frustrations and gray areas I had about criminology. Well written book!

This book is great to learn about criminology however there are a few references to the American justice and law system. Overall, it does give a good insight into the topic
