Ethics, Crime and Criminal Justice Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This textbook is well written for both the professional amd the student. Most law enforcement/corrections academies have ethics as part of the curriculum. However, the textbook goes a little more in depth. I now purchase all of my textbooks through Amazom.Com because of the great prices and fast delivery service. I wish I had known about Amazon.Com when I was an undergrad because of all of the money I could have saved!!!
