"Thomlison and Corcoran have crafted an in-depth and substantive manual for student internships. The manual builds on the best research evidence and applies that evidence in a way that makes situations in the field come alive for students. The book is conceptual and applied, combining the best of both approaches. I highly recommend it."-Scott Decker, Curator's Professor of Criminology and Criminal Justice, University of Missouri - St. Louis
