-- James L. Wright

"Crime and Everyday Life is a text with a down-to-earth approach to crime causation and crime prevention. The book is relatable to students interested in pursuing careers in law enforcement, social work, counseling, teaching, urban planning, and many other professions not typically thought of as being related to crime."

-- Luis F. Nuño

"It’s very accessible to a wide array of students."

-- Michael S. Barton
