 The best crime control book ever.Aug 22, 2010
By Mike C
This book helps open one's perception of crime control while covering several positions on the topics. Easy to follow and understand. Note that some terminalogy may by refered to differently in other texts. Despite this, it helps to develope a better understanding of how crime is approached while examining findings of effectiveness. One of the best books in my personal libary.

 Crime Control in America: What Works? (2nd ed.)Nov 02, 2009
By B. L. Magnusson
"msmags"
Book's in excellent shape. It is interesting that there is not only a full glossary but also a full index. Some books I have purchased for my criminal justice classes have little or no index which makes things difficult. This book has a nice and functional index.
