DESCRIPTION:
Dont bother Samara You don't need the book to pass this class. Well written and extremely informative - talented authors! I don't normally leave feedback for text books, but for this one I had to make an exception. This book is really amazing and I am not even going to sell it back to the bookstore at the end of the semester! Really informative and very revealing, found out all sorts of facts and perspectives on JUV Justice (and the justice system in general) that I would never have known otherwise. The best text book I've ever owned!. Susan Shanaberger said Happy Purchaser. I was completely happy with the quick response and delivery of this book by this seller! It was important to me to receive the book on time as I am a student. This seller made it happen to my satisfaction! Thank you again, it was good to know I could depend on you! Susan
