For a textbook, this book was good. Some phrasing could be more straight-forward and some sections seemed like just filler, but gave a good, balanced overview of the issues at stake.

This is useful in a very high level understanding of criminal justice. The examples were chosen well. I didn't feel like I really pushed past the limit of awe in learning something new, so it definitely falls in the introductory zone of basic definitions and understandings.
