Honestly, this is one of the better books I have had to read for Uni. It does not have similar material to other criminal justice books. It is a fresh perspective and approach to this area.

A good overview of why people commit crimes. The text book brought in real life examples and provided a multifaceted approach to looking at crime and rehabilitation.
