tors, social security fraud, and narcotics trafickers. An accomplished trainer,

Author’s Acknowledgments

I would like to give a big thanks to my agent, Barbara Doyen, as well as

Development Editor Joan Friedman for their excellent work and guidance in

preparing this book. Technical Editor Ken Rueben was, as always, a great

resource and friend. Internationally recognized juvenile justice expert David

Koch was very gracious with his time, as was Cynthia Stinson, the most

knowledgeable person I know on the topic of crime victim services. Copy

Editor Amanda Gillum and Project Editor Natalie Faye Harris worked very

hard on improving this book’s readability. I must also acknowledge the

lingering inluence of Blinker Black and all his fraters. Finally, I would like to

thank the men and women of the criminal division, who were not only the

source of many great examples in this book, but whose sacriice of personal

interest in the pursuit of justice has been a constant inspiration to me.
