I happened to receive a review copy of your new textbook Criminology – A Brief Introduction by Prof. Frank Schmalleger.
I must confess that whoever did the editing and photography supplement work did one of the most outstanding jobs I have ever seen in any textbook. From the mugshot of Lee Harvey Oswald on the cover, to the excellent color photos and diagrams, the book “comes alive” for most students. More than almost any text that has come across my desk – Schmalleger’s book “jumps out” and grabs the reader. This book is a winner – even more it is almost certain to be read by criminal justice students – and that is a rare achievement.
Prof. Schmalleger is to be praised for this excellent book – and I also think the editors and art set up people did an outstanding job.
Prof. Philip D. Supina
Associate Prof. of Criminal Justice
Frank Schmalleger is the author of numerous articles and many books, including the widely used Criminal Justice Today: An Introductory Text for the 21st Century (Pearson, 2011), now in an eleventh edition; Juvenile Delinquency (with Clemmens Bartollas; Pearson, 2011), Criminal Justice: A Brief Introduction, eighth edition (Pearson, 2010); Criminal Law Today, fourth edition (with Daniel Hall and John Dolatowski; Pearson, 2011); Crime and the Justice System in America: An Encyclopedia (Greenwood Publishing Group, 1997); Trial of the Century: People of the State of California vs. Orenthal James Simpson (Prentice Hall, 1996); Career Paths: A Guide to Jobs in Federal Law Enforcement (Regents/Prentice Hall, 1994); Computers in Criminal Justice (Wyndham Hall Press, 1991); Criminal Justice Ethics (Greenwood Press, 1991); Finding Criminal Justice in the Library (Wyndham Hall Press, 1991); Ethics in Criminal Justice (Wyndham Hall Press, 1990); A History of Corrections (Foundations Press of Notre Dame, 1983); and The Social Basis of Criminal Justice (University Press of America, 1981). Schmalleger is also founding editor of the journal Criminal Justice Studies (formerly The Justice Professional).
Schmalleger’s philosophy of both teaching and writing can be summed up in these words: “In order to communicate knowledge we must first catch, then hold, a person’s interest–be it student, colleague, or policymaker. Our writing, our speaking, and our teaching must be relevant to the problems facing people today, and they must–in some way–help solve those problems.”
