Perfect condition, arrived promptly and as described.

I was required to purchase this book for my university studies, and gladly so, as it was up to date and well written as well as in depth, yet clear and understandable.

It contains a number of real-life scenarios that make understanding the material a lot easier, and was an important contributing factor towards my grade. I expect to be referencing it again and again when dealing with deviant behavior.

A definite purchase for psychology/sociology majors and those with a keen interest in sociology.
