“This work is set to be the first in series from Wiley and if this work is an indication of what is to follow, I will very much look forward to the future sets focusing on theoretical criminology, juvenile justice and delinquency and, finally, crime and punishment.” (Reference Reviews, 1 June 2015)“Summing Up: Highly recommended. Libraries supporting upper-level undergraduates through practitioners in criminology/criminal justice; general readers.” (Choice, 1 September 2014)“Anyone among us who can advance effective strategies for persuading this generation of students that there is still much of value to be gained from engaging with encyclopedias such as this one would be making a highly commendable contribution to our field.” (American Reference Books Annual, 1 June 2014)
