I had to read this textbook for a class. Very informative, but it's a textbook so it's a little lack-luster... content wise, it has everything you need to know.

It was funny in a sad way to see how the future guardians of the school prison system are indoctrinated. Academic paper pushers who love their pension plan and give all the data about empowering landmark Supreme Court decisions and no data about less pleasing aspects like mandatory schooling is not about freedom, the abuse, and so on.

Lots of typos for a textbook. A bit outdated especally the labels chapter. Time to keep up with the changes!

Bit disorganized; overall my worse textbook for the whole year, which is saying a lot. Just started googling what I needed to know.

Good coverage, but the organization within chapters was lacking. Repetitive at times with too many sidebars. And, amazingly for a tenth edition, some typos.

Informative as you would expect, while occassionally the format would confuse when late at night reading. But good content all in all.
