Reviews

I think this book will make an important contribution in the areas of translational criminology and evidence-based policing given the expertise of the editors and the array of international policing experts who are contributing articles. I also think it stands to sell well in a time when police are facing pressure to reform, police agencies are requiring more training and education for officers to be eligible for promotions, academic departments are launching more applied Master's programs, and there is a growth of online programs with courses on evidence-based policy for which this book would be well suited. -Joshua Hinkle, Associate Professor of Criminal Justice and Criminology, Georgia State UniversityT The concept of Translational Criminology can have an enormous impact within the field of criminal justice, and the current national (and international) clamor for improving police practices creates the perfect storm for this book to be released. If we are going to make substantive improvements in evidence-based policing (and processing through the justice system), we must make sure that we are not only implementing practices that have been proven to bring about sustainable change but that they also are understood and accepted by those on the front lines. Everyone in the field would benefit from this publication. -Susan Broderick, Program Director, National District Attorneys Association
