by Matt DeLisi (Author)
4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars 9 ratings
See all formats and editions

Career Criminals in Society examines the small but dangerous group of repeat offenders who are most damaging to society. The book encourages readers to think critically about the causes of criminal behavior and the potential of the criminal justice system to reduce crime. Author Matt DeLisi draws upon his own practitioner experience, interviewing criminal defendants to argue that career criminals can be combated only with a combination of prevention efforts and retributive criminal justice system policies.

4.0 out of 5 stars I recommend this book.

This book was informative and well written. It takes a criminological perspective on the relatively small group of men who commit the majority of crimes. Some of the data is surprising. This book would be good reading for anyone in law enforcement.
