"The strength of the text is its broad coverage. I like the organization of the book. A specific career area in psychology (ex. Legal and Forensic Psychology) is covered in a chapter, and possible positions at the bachelor's level (correctional officer) and possible positions at the graduate level (Police Psychologist) are presented and discussed. I like this approach. Students will like this approach as well, because they will see how duties expand with a graduate degree. I also like the presentation of as much salary information about specific positions. That is something that students definitely want to know."
