Very well written book!!!
My professor assigns us tons of reading and thankfully this is a very interesting book so I really enjoy taking that extra time to study! There are many topics and laws in this book I never thought manageable and Im sure many people are unaware of. It is very beneficial to anyone in Criminal Justice, or just interested in our law.

I liked the way this college text book was laid out. It was easy to read and it was easy to find topics with the glossary. I got an A in this particular college class and felt I learned a lot based on the text information.

The book is the one needed but it was not a hard cover; which is what I expected. However, I would recommend it for those who are interested in gaining knowledge of our justice system.

I had to take an American Courts class and we had to read this book. I liked this book and it made it easier for me to understand the justice system. It is pretty organized content-wise as well. No regrets, I obtained knowledge. Thank you!

1.0 out of 5 stars kindle for pc
Reviewed in the United States on February 11, 2012

I have not finished the book, so for now all I can do is provide a review for the kindle and the app for the PC. Everything works good except for the exhibits , charts, etc, they do not work. I use e-books for the simple reason I can enlarge the print size.For this book, the text will enlarge, however the charts and exhibits actually become smaller. I can not read the material presented on these. Since the instructor uses these areas extensively, it is critical that I know this material. I contacted Amazon and they suggested that I report the problem on the kindle (right click, more, report) with no results or communication. I will now attempt to get a refund as I purchased a copy from Barnes and Noble and will use their nook. Everything works great with nook, the entire page enlarges.
Technology is fantastic, until it screws up, we just have not figured everything out yet, but until then, go with nook, I did.
