"There is much to be learned about criminal justice in Israel. Moreover, the high scholarly output of Israeli criminologists makes their work of particular interest."— Simon I. Singer, State University of New York at Buffalo"The writing styles of the diverse authors are excellent. It is a thorough treatment of crime, delinquency, and punishment in Israel, and has transferability beyond Israel."— Marvin E. Wolfgang, University of Pennsylvania
