Title: The best crime control book ever.
Review: This book helps open one's perception of crime control while covering several positions on the topics. Easy to follow and understand. Note that some terminalogy may by refered to differently in other texts. Despite this, it helps to develope a better understanding of how crime is approached while examining findings of effectiveness. One of the best books in my personal libary.

Review: I'm reading this book for university and I've found it to be a unique blend of pertinent and substantial information and personal touches from the author that keep the book grounded. The author clearly put a lot of effort and time in to this book and came up with the best way to portray his information in a way that would be easy to digest. It's refreshing.

Title: Needed it for class
Review: Great material and statistics that are then bias toward one view point. Unless it’s absolutely required for a class, go with the third addition

Title: Glad to get my money back.
Review: Mr. Warrall would like you to believe his work is objective, and for the most part open to all of the crime control theories present in America today. And I do give him credit for the exhaustive research to identify all of the current systems today. However, I found that the author wore his political and social views out in the open, and stated them to the detriment of his stated goal. That is to identify past and current trends in crime control, and review their effectiveness as well as provide counter points to the proposed theories. But all to often his counter point was to repeat over and over "But there is research indicating (said theory) is ineffective" etc., and then NEVER show, cite, or speak about what the research found. If you simply removed such statements from this text I would not be surprised to find a book 2/3 it's current size. I noted that the only research found in the book was affiliated with furthering his political agenda, and it was unapologetic in the brash in the assumptions it made. I had hoped for a book with more substance with in it's cover, but I was disappointed and ultimately found no value in Warrall's words. If I have to refer to a scholarly review I will use the Maryland Report, it was objective, informative, and most of all neutral.
