Greenwood Publishing Group : Icons of Crime Fighting

Reviews:

-"The essays are richly detailed and offer abundant biographical information, event time lines, interview segments, and direct quotations. Recommended for American history and criminology collections." —Library Journal

-"This book's organization is similar to that of an encyclopedia, but this is not a conventional reference book. Bumgarner (Minnesota State Univ., Mankato) presents the evolution of law enforcement as if each entry empowers the next chapter/ generation of crime fighters. Each entry concludes with a robust list of suggested readings. Overall this title provides some much-needed material and analysis for those studying the history of crime in the US. Recommended. Lower-level undergraduates and general readers." —CHOICE

-"We know the names of Al Capone and Ted Bundy, some of the most infamous criminals in history. Whatabout the names on the right side of the law? Editor Bumgarner, a political science professor at MinnesotaState University in Mankato, fills this gap with 22 detailed chapters on individuals and organizations thathave made significant contributions to criminal justice and investigation. ...Intriguing, detailed entries along with a 21-page selected bibliography and thorough cross-references inthe index make this an excellent reference book for criminal justice and American history students." —Booklist

-"The chapters are a good introduction to the better-known personalities and will serve as a major source of information on those who are less famous. It is recommended for secondary school, college, and university libraries." —Catholic Library World
