Recenzje

"...The editors have impressive scholarly and applied experiences in criminology, psychology, and the forensic sciences, and their diverse professional experiences translate into a highly accessible and eminently interesting volume. The book is valuable for criminologists, consultants, attorneys, prosecutors, true crime aficionados, and criminal justice students alike, and is worthy of a read. Psychopathy
and criminal behavior: Current trends and challenges is the most useful, insightful, and cogent volume on psychopathy in my library" --Journal of Forensic Sciences
