Very Dull
| Customer Rating:   | I am a Criminology and Criminal Justice student finishing my sophomore year this month. I have taken 7 different CCJ classes so far, and this textbook ranks among the most dry, dull, and boring CCJ textbooks I have ever had the misfortune to read. Even my Criminal Law text was better than this book was.
As the other reviwer expressed, the text is extremely wordy. I feel that the author could have simplified it somewhat--after all Juvenile Justice is a 2000-level class at my university; not a postgraduate class. The information contained in the book is not bad, but the subject could have been made so much more interesting, and the entire book could have been shortened by a couple hundred pages without too much important information being deleted.
I've kept all my other CCJ texts for future reference, but this book went back to the bookstore for cash on buyback day.

Dry, yet informative.
| Customer Rating: | | This book is one of the more wordy books I have ever read. The text is very dry yet informative. If you suffer from insomnia, this is one cure, I know it was for me. In all seriousness, this is a relatively good book, though I feel the newer version is a lot better. |
