Book Reviews of Juvenile Delinquency: Readings
Book Review: Mixed Emotions
Summary: 2 Stars
I was very pleased at first. I needed the book in a hurry, it was a holiday weekend and the book had to travel coast to coast and yet it still got here rather quickly. However, upon further review of the book, seven of the chapters that I needed had been ripped out of the book. I think the seller should have known this and sold it as being in poor condition not good condition. I ended up having to buy another of the same book.
Summary of Juvenile Delinquency: Readings
Designed for undergraduate juvenile delinquency courses, this book actively involves students in the literature of the discipline, presents the field in a format that is accessible, understandable, and enjoyable, and is edited by well-known scholars who are experienced researchers and teachers. · The readings in this anthology have been very carefully edited and pruned by the Editors so that undergraduate students can easily read them without getting bogged down or confused and lost in the technical, methodological details. · At no additional cost, we have included 5 substantial data analysis exercises spread throughout the book. These exercises not only teach students the basic of SPSS, the "standard" data analysis software in social science, but also show them how they can test the delinquency theories and propositions covered in the reader, using current delinquency data packaged with the book. This absolutely unique feature is structured into fill-in-the-blank exercise sets that are easy to grade for large numbers of students by a single instructor. · Over 150 very good questions have been put together for the readings so that instructors can easily test, even in large courses, whether or not their students are keeping up with the reading.Classics Books
