This excellent and in-depth look at the process of creating a criminal record and the dissemination of such information is best suited for academic libraries and libraries specializing in legal issues. For a general look at criminal law procedures, consider Paul Bergman and Sara J. Berman's The Criminal Law Handbook.

This book is best suited for public and academic libraries where there is a demand for material on politics and current affairs. Interested readers may also want to try Lewis Lapham's Gag Rule.

This thoroughly engrossing book contains a plethora of information and is not bogged down by statistics. Although it's intended for the casual reader, academics and anyone interested in psychology will find it an invaluable resource. Those looking for a self-help title may be interested in Sandy Hotchkiss's Why Is it Always About You?? (2003). [See Prepub Alert, 3/10/14.]
