Recenzii

"This edited volume of social network research in criminology has been a long time coming within social network analysis (SNA)…the book is complete enough to share a curriculum around crime networks, either as a special topics course in a generalist sociology department or as a core course within a criminology/criminal justice degree program. As a resource book, it is priceless, not only for the thoroughness of topics, but also for the invaluable bibliographies included in each entry…Highly recommended."CHOICE
