Good for an old book

While I am not a student of criminal justice I found this book very interesting. Since this book is some what old the information is a little outdated but it was still accurate. I found that the book didn't make a lot of assumptions about what the predatory thoughts and feelings were like most books I have read on the subject have done. I found the writing made it an easy read and I can't wait to read the next edition. I would recommend that anyone with an interest in the criminal mind and the impact on the victims check out this book.

Great book

Sex Crimes: Patterns and Behavior is the text book for my class, and it is one of the best text books I have had. It is short and to the point, but still offers a ton of information. There are easy to find deff. in the side margins, and interesting, and true, storie to explain the material. This book was very well written. My teacher said that some of the statistics are a little misleading, but understandably since there is not a lot of research done on this topic. Over all, it's a great book and I would read it even if it wasn't required for my class

Fasinating, riviting...but in a weird way!

I took a sexual devience course in college and this was required reading. I still own the book and love it! I thought that it was very organized and written in a straight forward style- no holds barred. Not for the weak stomach or anyone who even kinda gets the hebbie-jebbies by, say....child pornography. Holmes WILL describe hideous events involving all sexual deviences. What I liked most about this book was that there wasn't a lot of confusing deep analysis of peoples' psychosis. This is a good learning tool for anyone interested in criminology/psychology or sexual devience.
