"It has a lot of really great features that make it worth adopting."
-- Patricia L. Donze, J.D. Ph.D."I am already utilizing this text in my sections of JUS 200 Criminology. Most of my chapter responses above indicate strengths of this particular text compared to those from the previous text used. Not only does Haganâs text provide a strong foundation for students new to criminology, it also serves as a useful resource, with supporting citations, for those who choose to keep the book for future reference. I have been very pleased with the text as well as the instructor resources provided by SAGE. I do not imagine that I will change texts in the foreseeable future."
-- Dr. Tamara J. Lynn"[Strengths include] the use of pictures, charts, graphs, tables, and "Crime Files". Not only do these resources provide valuable information, they help break-up the pages giving the reader the appearance that they are not reading a boring old textbook"
-- Robert Roth"The book is a well-written and accessible to undergraduates. The book reflects important and noteworthy changes that are occurring in the field of criminology and it has great supplemental resourcesâ¦"
-- Arina Gertseva"I like the book a lotâ¦"
-- David R. Montague, Ph.D."Comprehensiveâ¦easily accessible"
-- Anita Kalunta-Crumpton"It is comprehensive and well-organized⦠the Crime File features add much to the material"
-- Terri L. Earnest"[Strengths include the] writing style, general content and layout, and online supplemental materials for both students and instructors"
-- Todd M. Krohn"Frequent references to actual, current cases/examples"
-- Erica Ross"Since we already use this text book, I would very likely recommend to committees working on the course that we continue to use the book. It is working and I donât believe in fixing something that is not broken if we continue to have some input into making regular improvements and updates."
