    An Essential Book For Criminologists

    This is a classic work that needs to be examined by those individuals interested in crime management and criminal justice. Each chapter focuses on important topics which social scientists have been wrangling over for years. Wilson presents a conservative interepretation of what works in the area of public safety. Perhaps the only drawback is the book's 'datedness;' it would be interesting to see if more recent research continues to support Wilson's findings.
