Crime and Detection series.
Each volume addresses a different aspect of crime and corrections, often using true cases to illuminate the topic. Examples range from discussions of the Babylonian Code of Hammurabi to computer viruses. Heavily illustrated with reproductions and color photos of varying quality, the fast-paced text provides a provocative, if superficial, overview. There are fourteen other fall 2003 books in this series. Glos., ind. [Review covers these Crime and Detection titles: Cyber Crime, International Terrorism, Serial Murders, Death Row and Capital Punishment, Famous Prisons, and Hate Crimes.]
