Recenzje

It has taken decades, but the disciplines of criminology, economics, psychology, criminal justice, and history now give plea bargaining the full attention it deserves. Edkins and Redlich have assembled into this one volume the interconnected insights from these disciplines to explain the plea-centered reality of criminal courts in the United States. If you're new to the work of criminal courts, you need this book. And if you're an experienced traveler in the criminal courts and need a fresh way to see daily business, you need this book.
