 Very excellent, informative book. March 11, 2009

This book is great for college as I'm using it as required text for a Administration of Justice class and its very informative and unlike a lot of books, doesn't put me to sleep. It also goes into detail the various branches of federal, state, county and local law enforcement and breaks down and describes each. It even describes some of the positions in these general forms of law enforcement and what their roles are. Buy this book first if you're going into AJ (and maybe if the book is required)
Extremely happy customer June 15, 2009

This was my first time to order books online and was a bit nervous about buying something without seeing the product first. I am very happy with my purchases. The books I ordered were in better condition and were shipped quicker than I had expected. I will definately shop with Amazon.com again.

I rec'd the book in a very timely fashion. The book has some wear & tear but not bad for the price. I recommend this type of buying and I will be doing this again probably next semester.
