Recensione:

TheGlick book is wonderful for Community College Criminology classes.  It has original works excerpts so students can hear the “voices” of people like Durkheim on Crime, or Sutherland on Elite deviance.  Meanwhile, the text covers everything in a very readable style for community college students.
