The material provided in the work is well suited for the author's goal ... if this work were used as the primary text for a course taken by law enforcement officers. The topics covered are appropriate, the depth of presentation is at the right level, the chapters merge together cohesively ... the result is a very useful text for bridging the gap between forensic psychology and law enforcement. -Choice Magazine, July 2017
