What the reviewers are saying …
Worrall’s “coverage is the most extensive and fresh that I have seen.”
Brian Renauer, Portland State University
Worrall “was successful in achieving his goal of creating a text with an expansive selection of policies. He certainly covers the critical issues facing crime control, and does so with a fair and balanced approach. I appreciate his straightforwardness in presenting both sides of the issue.”
Ronald Burns, Texas Christian University
“Worrall did an excellent job of describing and evaluating crime control in America. He focused on current crime problems and offered approaches and solutions to law enforcement. The descriptions on the hard and soft sciences contained a higher level of thinking and will challenge students to ‘think outside the box.’”
Barbara Cox, Gardner- Webb University
