The skills, techniques, and proactive approaches offered are creatively concrete and worthy of replication across the country. . . . Heartily recommended for those working in the 'front line' of major case investigation."

Reviews for Crime Classification Manual
12 ratings1 review
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5I was very surprised by the poor quality of this book. The writing is extremely bad - so bad that it becomes difficult to read in places. Some of the classifications are internally inconsistent, and many of the case studies do not fit the classifications. The manual is also peppered with ideological editorials from the volume's contributors, which is ugly and annoying in a reference text. Am very unimpressed to find this poor quality in the third edition.
