This excellent, timely and invaluable text book will be recommended to students on various modules at Level 4. It provides an in-depth analysis of the subject and will develop an appreciation from the student once read. It is a book to pick up and read instead of one which can make this subject unreadable. thank you.
Still considering other titles for challenging module but this will be a key addition
A long over due text that offers an original exploration of the main issues and concerns relating to the race, crime and justice debate.
