Criminal Law Books

If your professor uses the Dressler textbook, this hornbook is a must have. Dressler acts as lecturer, explaining concepts which he should have (but did not) explain well in the textbook. He explores the Philosophy of punishment and the elements...

The book itself is not really that great. Some law students might think it is a good outline because they haven't seen the other outlines that are out on the market. In reality, you would be better off with an Emanuel or Gilbert criminal law...

This isn't just a casebook, it's a damn near encyclopedia on criminal procedure. Odds are if you use this text, your professor was smart enough to cover only specific areas.

As for the text itself, the materials are very in-depth,...

This text is not only voluminous, it is quite dense. While it looks and feels as exciting as Evidence, when you turn the pages, it has a tendency to bore. Needs more case law and less editorial bashing of both students and advocates. xoxo Snuffy

This is the type of book that you will never really finish; as you will be constantly referring back to it for training. I read through it cover-to-cover like a novel; now I'm dissecting certain chapters that pertain more to my line of work. A...

State of the Art in fraud investigation books. Full concepts, tables and figures that shows the whole picture of the theme. The ACL Desktop Education Edition CD-ROM included and the reference to Picalo's website makes the perfect match in theory...

I found this to be one of the most poorly written texts I've ever read. It is very redundant and full of grammatical errors. It's as if two or three authors wrote the same material in their own respective words and bound it together to form one...

Nutshell review - A great read. Entertaining and informative. So well written and very useful at the same time.

I thought this book would tell me something I didn't know. It didn't. I thought it would be interesting enough to keep me awake and wanting to read it. It wasn't. I thought Bruce Schnier was a big thinker and agressive. He isn't; he's overly...

Chief Lasky has the nailed it. You were called to this job or you're a mutt and need to work somewhere else. Thank you for pointing out this job takes not only skill but integrity, honor and pride. Amen

the author had a lot of great things to say. I tried to reference his material for a college term paper. He was difficult to quote becuase his writing was choppy. I did however like what he had to say, i just had to paraphrase quite a bit.

I have spent over 30 years in wildland fire, 29 of those on the line. Most of my work has been as a Division Supervisor or Type 3 IC. This book hits the nail on the head in the fact that the bureaucrats will always try to blame the line personnel...

I have enjoyed all the MacClean books. They are well written and pay attention to detail without losing the interest of non fire folks. The latest book is methodical in its countdown to this disaster and accurately identifies all the seemingly...

It is a very good informational source for anyone that wants to pursue a promotion in police work. The review questions at the end of each chapter are convenient and helpful.

I found Supervision of Police Personnel (6TH) to be pretty much drawn out and boring. It is painfully evident that the same information could have been relayed in a lot less then 400 boring pages. It was difficult to follow and often repetitive....

Like so many others, I purchased this book because it was on the reading list for our promotion exam. The book isn't as bad as it is dated. Most of the references are from the 1970s and 1980s. As a result, it covers several older issues, but...

I purchased this for my husband, who is just about to graduate from the police academy. I originally bought this as a graduation gift, but was so excited that I gave it to him early. It's such a nice gift idea. It's a pretty Bible. It's just...

As much as I'd hate to knock any Bible, this one was not all I expected it to be. It's not any type of devotional bible with commentary and discussion. It is a regular Bible with a leather cover with a little police shield on it. It has some...
