This book is quite informative, delving into fundamental concepts of crime and its impact on society. Authored by Larry J. Siegel, it discusses the causes of crime, criminal behavior, and the role of the criminal justice system. With the author’s accessible style and content supported by current research, it could be a valuable resource for students and professionals seeking to understand the effects of crime on communities. However, it didn’t quite resonate with my personal preferences.
