In Their Own Words: Criminals on Crime
"I think this approach is not only useful in criminology, sociology, and criminal justice courses, but essential. As is explained in the introduction, students of crime/criminal justice rarely gain exposure to active criminals and the ability to accomplish that safely through a text (and to have the views of said active offenders presented in the context of scholarly analysis) is just plain fantastic. . . . The writing style is clear, accessible, and most importantly, concise. This is the book to use. Students actually read it, engage with it, and carry it outside and beyond the classroom. Plus it's full of top-notch, interesting, important, and timely research. There is nothing else like it on the market."  --Sarah Becker, University of Massachusetts, Amherst
