Recenzii
“Violence: The Enduring Problem is a readable, sensible presentation of the current state of the field. It gives balanced coverage of both street violence and political violence. The most holistic text currently available.”
“This textbook is a powerful broad-spectrum resource on violence in the United States and around the world.”
“A well-written text that explores the wide array of issues in violent crime.”
“The textbook is easy to understand, comprehensive, and highlights the current state of violence research.”
“A good examination of violence from a generally non-interpersonal focus.”
“I do enjoy this text and have used it multiple times…I would describe it as comprehensive enough to give a good overview of different types of violence but in-depth enough to do most of the justice.”
“Very good book that is highly accessible and very detailed.”
