Recenzii
"With short, simple chapters that cut to the chase, Walker and Drawve have written a crime analysis book that will be easily accessible to an undergraduate audience."
– Jerry H. Ratcliffe, Professor in the Department of Criminal Justice and Director of the Center for Security and Crime Science, Temple University
"An insightful and engaging look into the realm of crime analysis that offers readers a practical understanding of the field and its methods, making the crime analysis profession an invaluable resource to public safety agencies and the communities they serve."
– Joel Caplan, Associate Professor at the Rutgers University School of Criminal Justice and Deputy Director of the Rutgers Center on Public Security
"The emergence of crime analysis has been a driving force in the modern evolution of policing. Indeed, crime analysts, and the work products they produce, are integral to the design and implementation of evidence-based crime prevention practices. In Foundations of Crime Analysis, Walker and Drawve present a comprehensive overview of crime analysis techniques. The book is greatly beneficial to both academics and practitioners interested in further developing their understanding of crime analysis."
– Eric L. Piza, Associate Professor in the Department of Law and Police Science, John Jay College of Criminal Justice
"This book covers a variety of topics relevant to the field and is a great resource for students being introduced to the field, new analysts, and even experienced analysts. As an experienced analyst, I really appreciated the chapters on presenting information and picked up some new tips, tricks, and ideas. I have seen so many changes over the last 20 years, many aspects of my job today that I could not have imagined at the beginning, so I enjoyed the last chapter discussing the future of the field, thinking about where we are all headed, and how it can impact not just law enforcement but other aspects of the criminal justice arena as well."
– Michelle Belongie, Crime Analyst at the Green Bay Police Department and secretary of the WI Law Enforcement Analyst Network
