Reviews

Overall the book is well written and formatted in a way to allow the reader to easily follow each chapter's goal and key points ... Although the book was written for the British Intelligence community, the blended use of case studies from various countries would satisfy a larger, international audience. Tamara D. Dempsey, Criminal Justice Review
