Gr 710 Dealing with a variety of heavy topics, this series is laid out in an interesting and well-organized way. Every book does a great job of clearly and objectively discussing the multifaceted issues associated with its subject. Topics or aspects related to the crime are covered on spreads that contain a lot of information, but will not overwhelm readers. The many captioned images supplement the texts. Real examples are constantly referenced, but in-depth case studies in each book bring readers even further into the topics. A note to teachers and parents in the further-information section addresses Internet safety and advises adult supervision when consulting the websites listed.
