"Criminal Justice: The Essentials is the ideal textbook because it is concise, takes a general approach, is priced low, and carries the Oxford brand, which helps me to assure even skeptical students that the information is correct, accurate, and reliable."--David Keys, New Mexico State University
"The authors present the relevant material, offer suggestions for other readings that may be useful, and provide critical-thinking exercises that can be used to help stimulate class discussion. They also include links to relevant online sources that supplement the material discussed in the text."--Tristin Kilgallon, Ohio Northern University
