    Ce livre est parfait ! Je ne pouvais pas espérer mieux. Tout est très bien détaillé ! Cependant ça aurait été bien qu'il y ait quelques photos.

    Didn't manage to take this module during my uni days but even without your friends by your side to sit through lecture sessions, the subject matter and content is intriguing.

    I am currently studying Criminal/Forensic Psychology as one of my optional Psychology modules at university and this book has been great. I downloaded it on my Kindle and it's so much easier to scroll through pages and highlight. The layout is very simple and clear and I have had no issues so far with the way it's been written!
