Criminology: A Brief Introduction
I happened to receive a review copy of your new textbookCriminology – A Brief Introductionby Prof. Frank Schmalleger.             I must confess that whoever did the editing and photography supplement work did one of the most outstanding jobs I have ever seen in any textbook.  From the mugshot of Lee Harvey Oswald on the cover, to the excellent color photos and diagrams, the book “comes alive” for most students.  More than almost any text that has come across my desk – Schmalleger’s book “jumps out” and grabs the reader.  This book is a winner – even more it is almost certain to be read by criminal justice students – and that is a rare achievement.             Prof. Schmalleger is to be praised for this excellent book – and I also think the editors and art set up people did an outstanding job. Prof. Philip D.
