Criminal Behavior: A Psychological Approach PDF

Kindle version is very useful for using for class, as it supports full-text search - which is extremely useful during research for papers or open-book tests.

The content of the book... it's for class, so you have to get it.

In my opinion, however, the Bartol's seem to explain away all sense of personal responsibility for criminal acts - these criminals are never a criminal by choice - it's always some external factor that drove them to criminal behavior. Granted the book is a discussion of why criminals become criminals, in the process, it seems to skip over the fact that some people simply want to be one.

A must have for my class. Too bad I cant figure out the kindle app for my android/pc. I wasted money at another site, but didn't get what I expected. I already own the hard copy, I was just hoping to be able to get the Ebook version for my Nexus 7. Sadly, I can't figure it out. I'll just have to stick with old school page turning :) Note to self: stick with amazon.
