Reader Reviews
Criminal justice professionals can take a break from their serious and often stressful work days, and relax with a chuckle over Michael Weinberg's rankings of assorted criminal activities. Whether the type of crime is well known or rare in the everyday work of policing, prosecuting, or incarcerating, those working in these fields will get a well rounded perspective on how rewarding the crime is to the criminals they confront on a daily basis. Rating scores for compensation, enforcement penalties, hazards, and quality of work environment for various crimes gives the law enforcement professional a thoughtful look at what the criminal faces. In addition to his potential for success, there are the hoped for pitfalls that police officers are always on the lookout for. Careers in Crime also provides the prosecutor or watch commander with a handy conversation piece on their office desk. The general reader will get a glimpse of the challenges that law enforcement faces without the tedium of dry statistics. And the criminal-to-be will see that many choices of crime have poorer outcomes than they may imagine, although one wonders how well they execute their career choices. A must read for everyone on any side of crime!
